I have the same thoughts e...Wow great post kristy! I have the same thoughts everytime I see adverts for "green products" that just seem unnecessary. I resolved some of that inner turmoil by deciding that I couldn't save the world by making small changes in my own life, so I was better off just preparing for the worst, and if that means buying things so that I can set up what I need, that's how its going to be. This was vindicated when I read a permaculture book by David Holmgren - he talks about using fossil fuels etc to build things that are going to last for the future when we won't have such cheap energy (rather than wasting them making crap that's just going to break). So my philosophy is, if I must buy something, buy the product that is going to last longest in case I can't buy it again. I also think all the time, what would I use if I couldn't buy this product? What can I do to set up a system so that I can make it or use something else instead if I had to? That's why I'm learning to knit socks! (although the next questions, is where can I get sock wool if I can't buy it? It does become a never ending cycle!)<br /><br />To answer your question about the porridge, don't use pasteurised milk, you'll probably end up brewing something dangerous! You can use yoghurt though, that will be much safer and easier to get hold of, just make sure it has "live cultures".
