Milk Truck

We now have a milk delivery service. cowtruck.com has set us up with Thursday deliveries of milk and yogurt. We’ll be expanding our order pretty soon to include cheese and eggs. For a $10 minimum purchase, they’ll put the “product” in a custom cooler by our door. Local business, fresh milk, less plastic, better quality yogurt…It pretty much rocks.

We’ve established that I’m becoming more and more of a freaky liberal in my old age: First I stopped eating mammals and poultry, then I became willing to pay a dollar extra for eggs if they promised not to torture the chickens who produced them. I’ll even pay an extra dollar on top of that for failing to feed the egg-producing chickens ground up other chickens. In my mind, this should be the default. People who want eggs from suffering, forced-cannibal chickens should be made to pay more, but that’s just not the way it works.

I guess I’ve come a long way from demanding a four-animal pizza at lunch (ground beef, pepperoni, anchovies, and BBQ chicken strips) and saying things like “just walk the cow near the fire, I’ll carve my own.”

Weird.
