Yep that is the one,
Needs to be pulled up on miss marketing for starters!
Also should be pulled up on saying its weird to feed cows plants!
yes its a load of rubbish but i don't think any normal person with a modicum of inteligence /education will take it seriously ?

Weird to call margarine butter too, but that’s the desperate world we live in.

You over estimate the general public.yes its a load of rubbish but i don't think any normal person with a modicum of inteligence /education will take it seriously ?
Indeed.
It's not odd to drink milk, eat butter etc. at all. In fact it could be argued, that our very survival in Europe as a species, is inherently linked to our ability to consume dairy products.
Even some peer reviewed science to back this up-
Famine and disease drove the evolution of lactose tolerance in Europe
Prehistoric people in Europe were consuming milk thousands of years before humans evolved the genetic trait allowing us to digest the milk sugar lactose as adults, finds a new study led by UCL and University of Bristol researchers.
It's main selling point, is that it lasts. I have suggested on here in the past that in response to households getting smaller milk should be offered in half pint bottles. I was roundly ridiculed; apparently if folks don't drink a pint of milk a day there is something wrong with them. The case for smaller pack sizes also applies to butter, but it will also be scoffed at. Huge amount of complacency in the industry.
Arla reduced pack sizes to 200g, not sure how it’s panned out, I think it was more shrinkflation.

Butter also lasts though. I've got 250g packs in the fridge that have a best before date that's 5 months away and it'll still be good after that.

You’re being a little over sensitive. The main criticism of smaller bottle sizes was the cost of extra packaging and handling.

I think I said in reply to your original post that when we started selling milk, we offered three sizes of bottle. 500ml, 1 litre or 2 litre. We didn't even use the whole pack of 500ml bottles, and when we stopped doing them, 1 person complained. Never has anyone else ever said we need smaller bottles. There may well be a market for small bottles somewhere, but not for us. I've just watched someone leave our vending machine with 50 litres (25 x 2litres) of milk, I'd argue we should have bigger bottles!

The dairy industry should collectively defend butter;
Butter is a dairy product made from the fat and protein components of churned cream.
They can't let alternatives start using it on their labels.
It’s laughably bad. They’re losing the argument and they know it. The younger generation loves cheese, good luck changing that. Folk are definitely more aware nowadays of what is and what is not real food.
Consumption of Hexane solvent which is in these plant oil product's can't be doing people any good at all, is proven to destroy the nerves in our body, but nobody seems to worry
