Don't worry every country north and west of there always have a surplus so they can buy it.

Hey Jet, how was the cabin?

Good. They had a separate toilet 100m up a hill though which was not ideal.

It's made me think I should buy a campervan for when I travel for work. Finding short lets is a huge pain in the arse.

Meanwhile in the US Borden Dairy closing plants, https://www.al.com/business/2022/08/borden-dairy-reportedly-closing-alabama-plant-by-sept-30.html

I can't recall ever having bought Borden anything for decades. Store brand dairy from local sources is always cheaper and works as well. I hope they got out-competed by small guys but no detailed reasons are found in a couple articles I looked up about this.

Notice how the article does not give a reasonable explanation for why the US dairy plants are closing? But the article about France's dairy is clear: starving cows do not produce milk.

I am not a fan of milk, doesn't really bother me. I don't know why we drink the milk of cows but are generally repulsed at the idea of adults drinking breast milk. Seems species inappropriate.
