In some ways I disagree. People want to know what they are eating and where it is sourced from.
Peanuts especially due to allergies
Whilst the actual product may not some of the factories where it is processed
And look at Pret where a girl died after eating a vegan product that contained traces of milk |

Organic milk has less puss in it |

Food labelling within the UK is open to so much interpretation and is only flagged when something goes wrong; typically allergic reactions akin to the Pret incident.
Don’t trust retail supermarket marketing; ever!
Within this context, “Vegan”, “Organic”, “Fat Free” and the worst offender “Low Fat” should be taken with the preverbal ‘pinch of salt’
If you want to know what’s in your food, prepare it yourself from singular ingredients or educate yourself re labelling. |

This wasn’t the particular case re Pret, although I absolutely agree with your sentiment.
Pret existed in a food and nutritional labelling grey zone which they exploited until it killed a customer; you can argue who’s fault it was all day long! |

Organic milk comes from cows that have a natural, organic, grass-rich diet. Non-organic milk has come from cows that have been pumped full of growth hormones, antibiotics and fed genetically modified animal feed. |

Whilst I agree with food labelling, I have my own thoughts about levels of responsibility.
If I knew I had such severe reactions I would NEVER eat food I hadn't prepared. |

All natural grass as well ??
Who checks on that ??
I’d happily be corrected, I’d be surprised if any milk supplied in the UK was truly organic in the literal sense; perhaps a small holding that supplied their product to a very small local geographic radius, beyond that I’d have my doubts. |

I don’t buy organic milk so don’t quote me on this but I suspect the grass has to be tested for chemicals or has to be certified pesticide free for a certain amount of time. |

And can those growth hormones be passed through the milk for the person drinking it. You know, for people that go to the gym for example? 👀 |

Clinically proven - which literally means the product has been tested by the same people who make it and they have deemed that it does what it says on the tin unlike scientifically proven which means it actually does do what it says on the tin |

Unless you’re buying your milk from America then the U.K. dairy herd does not use Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH). In fact since the 1990’s there has been a ban on even importing cattle that have been treated with any growth hormone or other anabolic steroid.
If we are going to discuss this let’s not spread misinformation

I took most of the info from the Soil Association website, which I believe is UK based but I’m no expert so apologies if anything is incorrect. Obviously people can also do their own research. |

In the vein of the topic above, it seems gym culture has brought about an increase in "protein" labelled foods. Protein yoghurt, protein Weetabix, protein crisps. It seems an excuse to mark up the price and doesn't seem worth it at all. |

If it helps all milk contains traces of naturally occurring bovine growth hormones…. Otherwise the calfs wouldn’t grow

Well sure that's reasonable but saying there's no palm oil in flax seed is like saying there's no palm oil in a orange... I mean why wod anyone think there's palm oil in flax seed? |

"New and improved"
If its new, how could it be improved.

Or in apples case their camera is new... just so you don't realise its actually exactly the same as the old one. |
