Beer Dispensers
5 liter mini kegs???
I just bought my scrumptious man a small counter top beer dispenser. It takes 5 liter mini-kegs. Anyone know where I can find some of those?
heineken has them, they are 19.99 you can find them at most super markets, if you have beer drive thru’s they will have them for sure.
In a few days time I reach 53 years of age, At 52 my Father passed away and this was due to his lifestyle choices. I gave up smoking 16 years ago. I no longer imbibe the alcohol more than an odd glass of beer or wine. A drop of Calvados once in a while is a treat. So my next challenge starting in 2010 is to at least reduce in my diet all dairy products but going totally dairy free would be at the moment a big ask.
So what are the challenges? To start with, most big supermarkets do not cater for dairy free people. Come on, they still stock eggs produced by inane and barbaric methods. The meat counters hide unhealthy practices too. Just visit any UK Chicken processing plant. 100,000 birds a day are killed by just one producer in Suffolk alone. Hundreds of chickens die with broken legs and other transport induced injuries every day. So catering for a minority the Supermarkets looking after a small populous is way too big an ask for them. So we need to find alternatives and or local suppliers who have a genuine interest in people who choose alternative food styles or dietary needs. There are many more hurdles too. Spend a moment thinking of some for yourself.
Veganism is still looked upon as some kind of cult status for armchair anarchists and 60s Hippies. I know that sounds a bit cliché but that is the world we have been raised into. In the 1960s in the UK, kids at school usually chose between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones as to who was the best group. Being asked who your favourite Beatle or Rolling Stone was, was a common question for many 5 year olds and upwards (I always liked George and Keith as my faves).
Vegetarianism and Veganism in particular enjoy some reborn status from the “Celebrity” fraternity and has gained some momentum recently. This is, in some small part, due to people like Heather Mills and others who make claims to the benefits of alternative eating habits. Put aside your own personal views for a moment and consider this. Heather Mills is at present probably the most active public campaigner against animal cruelty in the world of Food production. In this regard she deserves our support, rather than the considerable public maligning for perhaps some misjudgments in other areas of her personal life.
In a few days we will welcome in 2010 and what a world it is. Basically the world is bankrupt and for an individual trying to make healthy choices will add next to no benefit to those who wish for a world free of avarice and mass produced marketing. Going Dairy free is a whole heap of good for an individual but consider this. I consume about 250 grams of butter every week. Multiplying that by 52 is a large dollop of fat produced by a cow that has been milked twice a day with an udder so distended it is painful for the animal to walk.
OK, so I don’t really save any particular cow any misery in my own sacrifice for a healthier option but what if a million people joined me on this crusade. What about ten million or half of the UK population. Ridiculous but possible. Now let’s add into the equation cream and Ice cream followed by cheese, yogurt margarine spreads etc. just the basics really. My one person effort will make no difference in saving anything but using the previous consideration of the power of numbers, Yes indeed ten million households not buying basic Dairy products would have a marked dent in the economy. Not much I grant you but consider this.
In the UK alone a dent in the economy would show up and British Dairy farmers who are treated with less respect than any other industry by the chief buyers for Supermarkets will be asking for handouts to subsidize their losses, or should they reduce their dairy herds and sow crops to sustain the need for alternative fuels? A whole new debate there to consider methinks.
There is so much more to think about and my aim to cut out Milk and Cheese etc is my choice. Only I will benefit but the main point is; If I could encourage someone or so many more to this cause, so much the better. “You are what you eat.” We are told. Is Veganism a goal too big to reach? At 52 I may be forgiven for thinking so.

the New Year with a new waistline to achieve and maybe one Cows worth of savings brought about is a small step. Did I mention the Butter Mountain? I don’t believe I did… Who fancies climbing that one?
