Do you remember the milkman?
How things have changed…..
Back in the 1950’s,60’s,70’s& 80’s in England we had daily fresh milk deliveries direct to your doorstep.
A ‘milk float’ as we called them ran on batteries – they were recharged overnight.
Homes were supplied with grass fed cows milk everyday, in glass bottles that were collected and reused, then when passed their usefulness sent back to the glass bottle plant as ‘cullet’ to be made back into new glass.
The milk was really ‘Fresh’ , being delivered in milk churns daily then pasteurized at the local dairy the day before, stored overnight in the refrigerator then delivered fresh the next day to your door step.
Today :
We have GMO corn fed cows milk, highly processed, long lasting, supplied in one time use plastic bottles that are difficult to recycle.
The ‘Milkman’ has long since lost his job…you have to make a trip to the supermarket to buy your milk.
The local diary is a thing of the past too..
Is this really progress? what do you think?
