I use full cream milk. Is there any difference between the different brands of milk? I know they suck stuff out of milk and sell it to pharmaceutical companies so what we get isn't 'real' milk, but are some brands less 'real' than others or is it all the same? Should I just keep buying Homebrand or is it worth paying extra for a flash brand?

I use a non-fat milk for myself (because it doesn't tend to get a skin on top as easily as full-cream milk when it's heated, and ) and it doesn't NEED homogenisation. Why would a product that has no fat in it NEED homogenisation? Grrr! For the rest of the family I buy full-cream "silver top" milk and can find only one brand that isn't homogenised. Yes, I do know why milk processors are mad on homogenisation: the same reason that peanut butter manufacturers fill their product with yucky emulsifiers: consumers too jolly lazy to shake the milk bottle or (in the case of peanut butter) stir the contents before serving themselves.
