Andrea, you must live in Paradise. We in the UK used to have milk in Pints, and in Quarts. In fact, when I was a wee snotty-nosed kid we had a third of a pint in bottles deliverd to school for each child every day. By the time I left school however, my own kids suddenly stopped getting this. A lady called Mrs Thatcher had decided that a) Parents should buy that for their kids, not the State, and b) some interfering busybodies had decided that cows milk was not good for children after all! But then something even worse happened - the UK went metric. Milkmen, who used to deliver milk in glass bottles to the house door every morningg, went extinct, and now you have to go the Supermarket to buy your milk. Now it comes in Litres, as does Petrol. A dear old friend of mine, from Essex, remarked about the Litre as a Measure "A litre is a stupid measure, it's too little petrol and too much beer". I do so agree with him about that.

Worse even than having to buy milk in litres, it now comes in plastic containers. Everyone should be aware that these use once and throw away plastic containers have fluidizer chemicals added to the molten plastic, to stop it going brittle and cracking, and that these chemicals have oestrogenic properties, imitating natural oestrogen, but stronger ! For M2F people, that is useful to know, but it is also one of the reasons for human male sperm counts having declined considerably in recent years, and for gynaecomastia among human males increasing in incidence.

Plastic bottles also clutter up the environment, use hydrocarbons and energy in manufacture, and hang around for years and years and years. They ought to go back to using returnable glass bottles, but that wont happen - there is more money to be made by the big companies if they can get people to stick to plastic. The Environment doesnt count and boys with boobs are nicer to look at anyway...
