If the milkman rings twice.

Let's muse about food for a while. Today: Milk.

In germany, there is a big buzz about the price-increase of dairy products.

Some products like butter cost uo to 100% more, icrecream costs 20 cents more, a colleague tells me. "Because the milk is more expensive." Some would argue that the price of milk makes up only for 1/3rd of the products price, such an increase would therefore be burglary.

The cowfarmers deserve more money, so others claim. 26 Cents per litre is not enough. How about I buy directly from the farmer for, say 50 Cents a litre. Resulting in him earning almost twice as much while I would be paying almost half. That sounds like a good deal to me.

I must investigate this when I return from the USA in September.
