Go to your grocery store and see if they have half and half or whipping cream with just milk and cream as ingredients. At lot of grocery stores I've been to don't have any cream it's a recipe with cream guar gum and a few other ingredients. They shouldn't be able to call that recipe the same name "cream". My point is even trying to just buy these ingredients is itself complicated

This isn’t hard at all. Didn’t take me three minutes. It’s even a major brand available at a variety of US supermarkets. It’s not niche or “organic”.

I don’t buy half and half cream very often. I did not know that for a basic product they were selling items that aren’t just milk and cream. Ignorance on my part? Sure, but there is over a hundred different things I buy. It would be doing a audit everytime I go shopping.

>> doing a audit everytime I go shopping

Well, yes. You should be thinking about what you purchase and what goes into your body.

Once a product is vetted, you should be able to keep buying it with only periodic refresher checks at the ingredients.

Even if it says milk the quality still depends on what they fed the cow that produced the milk. How much Palm oil was in the cows diet and what effect does that have on the milk. Even things like was the milk taken from an infected/inflamed utter?

You go shopping thousands of times in your life.

Spend 10 seconds reading a label.

Holy crap people are lazy and entitled. You want your hand held and all the conveniences in the world so you don't have to read a label or buy a vegetable.

Yeah, the label says half milk half cream.
