Re: Thai Coconut milk

I hate the way some humans think they have the right to use and abuse animals.

I don't agree with some of the more extreme actions the Animal Rights people use - but I do agree with their principles.

Re: Thai Coconut milk

I would be interested to know if this involves ALL coconut milk or whether it is certain brands. We sell quite a lot of it but I am happy to tell people the truth behind it if it involves the brands we sell.

Yes I'd be interested to know that too Longdogs. Is it the cartons of coconut milk, sold as a substitute for dairy milk? Or is the tins of coconut milk, the 100% stuff that is used to flavour curries and so on? Or maybe both..... Oh lord, and I love the tinned stuff in my curries

I believe that varroa mite is lethal to bees.

Shocking isn't it? Mankind thinks it's the superior species on this planet. It's not, it's just the dominant species, and as such thinks it can appallingly mistreat all other life for its own benefit. It makes me so ashamed.

Spot on Sheba, that is exactly how I feel.
Big difference isn't there.
Well said.
