I use a fair amount of half & half. In my coffee, cereal and cooking, probably 1-2 qts per week. I also use REAL butter. Used to be a margarine and other fake stuff user due to all the "hype" that we were fed by health studies. But I finally got fed up trying to figure out what was good or bad for me and went back to the real thing. I've lost more weight, feel better than I ever have by exercising, eating in moderation, avoiding carbs.
Last week I grabbed an unopened carton of half-half to cook with. I noticed the label said "Fat Free". Huh? Wife had grabbed the wrong carton. I looked closer and compared it to a regular carton from the same creamery we had in the fridge. Labels were almost identical. But here were the ingredients:
Regular half-half: Grade A Milk, Cream (sounds about right)
Fat-Free half-half: Skim Milk, milk, corn syrup solids, artificial color, sodium citrate, dipotassium phosphate, mono and diglycerides, carrageenan, vitamin A palmitate. (all those great chemicals I try and avoid by eating more natural foods)
My point is: How can they even call the "Fat Free" version Half & Half? Sounds like false advertising to me. (I know the beet and cane sugar growers are suing the corn syrup folks for trying to call their stuff sugar.) And to put it in a carton almost identical to the real stuff is very deceptive.
Anyway, we'll use it up but just another thing we have to look closer at when buying. (Along with avoiding the "low sodium" canned goods).

Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
