  • Thanks for the response. The new yogurt is now made in UK. In fact they make a big thing that its Devon milk and it does say made in Devon (so clearly a different line to the Irish one that got good reviews)
    The 3 we had were just horrid. Sour and totally thin. Hit and miss may describe the range but this is a definite MISS

    Just watching the second practice for Silverstone noticed a big Lidl sign on the nose cone of the Torro Rosso's if you have any idea how much a square centimetre of advertising space is on an F1 car you can guess how much this has cost them,clearly a sign for people that Lidl is moving up in the world.

    Made by the Ambrosia part of Premier Foods. It's in Lifton which is so far west it's almost in Cornwall:D

    Heard something on Radio 5 about this in the last 2 or 3 days

    Apparently gram for gram it's healthier to eat LARD than coconut oil due to it fat content

    But what people fail to understand is that coconut oil is a medium chain triglyceride and is metabolised differently to the other saturated fats such as lard and butter which are both long chain triglycerides. MCTs are rapidly metabolised and used as fuel for energy, directly processed by the liver, therefore are not stored as body fat.

    It's much better to feed raw as cooking destroys some vital nutrients.

    I wouldn't feed my dog any raw meat.

    Thanks for that, I had a feeling that there must be more to it.

    That's a motto for a long, successful and happy life! :)

    Even Wikipedia won't accept the Mail as a source of accurate information. A supporter of the Nazis in the 1930s, it continues to push out bile, hatred and lies claimed to be facts.
