Newtalk新聞 一杯超商拿鐵，竟可能牽動台南牛肉湯的肉源供應！農業記者陳志東指出，進口冰磚奶憑藉低價優勢搶攻飲料市場，壓縮台灣酪農生存空間，甚至可能影響溫體牛肉供應。他更點名統一、光泉等乳品大廠，質疑國產鮮乳價格高昂，酪農卻未獲得相應回報。 陳志東在臉書發文指出，進口冰磚奶加水還原後，每公升可能只要30多元，國產鮮乳零售價卻可能達90元。進口冰磚奶與液態乳合計已接近國內乳品市場4成，價格優勢讓超商、咖啡店與手搖飲業者更有誘因使用進口乳源，本土牧場則面臨訂單流失的壓力。 他批評，統一、光泉及開元都有進口冰磚奶業務，其中統一與光泉也向國內酪農收購生乳。酪農每公升收購價約23至33元，經加工及通路銷售後，鮮乳售價卻可能達90元。他質疑，大型乳品廠未積極發展奶油、起司等加工產業，讓本土酪農難以擺脫對收購商的依賴。 陳志東指出，當乳品廠減少收奶，原本飼養400頭乳牛的牧場，可能縮減至200多頭。牛群減少，連帶使淘汰母牛及公牛的供應下降，而這些牛隻正是台南溫體牛肉的重要來源之一。 他認為，這也可能解釋近年部分台南牛肉湯業者面臨的缺肉問題。部分肉牛原本飼養至少22個月，如今可能提前至16個月屠宰，甚至有店家必須搭配進口牛肉。他強調，不能將肉源不足造成的品質壓力全歸咎於店家，而應重視背後的產業變化。 至於冰磚奶為何便宜，陳志東解釋，一般牛奶約有88%是水，業者透過濃縮及冷凍減少運輸體積，進口後再依配方加水，部分產品另添加乳脂、鮮奶油或安定劑。他指出，合法製造的還原乳並非不安全，蛋白質及鈣質與鮮乳也相近，但加工程序可能影響部分營養成分與乳香。 乳源透明度也是陳志東關切的問題。他以全家咖啡專用乳為例，指出其原料依序標示水、濃縮牛乳及生乳，顯示添加最多的是水。《上下游》11月12日走訪超商，也發現OK受訪門市使用鮮乳，全家、7-ELEVEN及萊爾富則查到還原乳產品，全家另有國產小農鮮乳拿鐵可供選擇。 此外，部分酪農雖自行成立加工廠、推出獨立品牌，卻仍受限於生產成本及通路條件。陳志東指出，部分賣場收取上架費，還要求供貨商承擔寄賣風險及巡店工作，增加小型牧場的經營負擔。 陳志東呼籲，消費者購買拿鐵時，可以友善詢問店員乳品來源，促使業者更清楚揭露用乳種類。他坦言，支持國產鮮乳也可能讓大型乳品廠與通路受益，但若全面轉向進口奶，本土酪農的生存空間恐怕更加狹窄。延伸閱讀：黃仁勳下台矽谷大老集體聲援！馬斯克喊願延攬 Epic創辦人嘆：悲傷的一天蔣萬安直播「對尬生四寶」惹哭秦慧珠！石明謹：他恐怕還不知道錯在哪核能公投首場辯論「藍喊重啟核電卻無方案」！廢核平台批：如蔣萬安提遷松機只有口號吳瑟致觀點》 一手孫中山、一手懲獨22條！中共對台統戰的「柔性包裝」與「硬性威嚇」紀念孫中山 習近平嗆絕不會為台獨留空間：解決台灣問題「統一必然實現」

Newtalk新聞 輝達（NVIDIA）創辦人黃仁勳近日接連陷入婚外情風波，以及與涉嫌替中國從事間諜活動女子往來的爭議，最終於週四（12 日）宣布辭去執行長職務，震撼全球科技圈。 隨著風波延燒，輝達股價持續承壓，週四盤中一度暴跌逾 14%，終場跌幅收斂至 4.34%，收在 166.19 美元。若與上週五（6 日）收盤價相比，累計下跌 10.96%，市值蒸發約 4,928 億美元，也讓持有大量輝達股票的黃仁勳財富大幅縮水。根據《富比士》即時億萬富豪榜資料，黃仁勳單日身價蒸發 60.7 億美元，總資產降至 1,380 億美元，全球富豪排名也從本月初的第 7 名掉到第 13 名。 除了持股市值縮水，黃仁勳離職也可能帶來額外損失。《彭博》報導指出，依輝達股權獎酬政策，他預計將喪失約 1.08 億美元尚未歸屬的股票獎酬，約占其總身價的 0.08%。不過，這筆金額屬於離職衍生的股權獎酬損失，與股價下跌造成的財富縮水不同。 反觀 Google 母公司 Alphabet 股價走揚，帶動兩位共同創辦人身價同步攀升。其中，佩吉（Larry Page）單日財富增加 41.6 億美元、漲幅 …

Newtalk新聞 近日毒駕問題引發社會關注，桃園市長張善政今（13）日在臉書表示，自 10 月 31 日打擊毒駕新制上路後，桃園警方短短 10 天內查獲 96 名毒駕者，依法沒入 91 輛車，包括 39 輛汽車及 52 輛機車，另循線查獲 32 名涉及毒品供應鏈的人員。張善政強調，不論車輛是否為駕駛人本人所有，只要涉及毒駕，都將依法沒入，絕不寬貸。 張善政指出，吸毒已經是危害自己與他人的行為，吸毒後還開車上路，更是完全無視其他用路人的生命安全，可能讓原本平安出門的民眾再也無法回家，造成家屬一輩子的傷痛。他認為，面對這種罔顧公共安全的行為，不能只期待毒癮者自制，必須透過強力執法，從道路攔查一路追查到毒品供應源頭。 根據新制規定，毒駕者除面臨車輛沒入，還將遭吊銷駕照及提高罰鍰。首次毒駕，機車最高可罰 12 萬元、汽車最高 15 萬元；拒絕接受檢測則最高可罰 27 萬元，毒駕者並將吊銷駕照、3 年內不得考照。毒駕致人重傷或死亡，以及再次毒駕者，則可能面臨終身不得考照的處分。 張善政表示，桃園警方除了加強路面查緝，也持續向上追查毒品供應鏈，目前已另外查獲 32 名相關人員。未來將持續擴大查緝，從源頭切斷毒品供應，讓毒品犯罪無所遁形。他強調，沒有人應該為別人的毒駕付出生命代價，市府將全力支持警方執法，保障市民安全回家的權利。 事實上，毒駕造成的交通死亡問題不容忽視。根據交通部 10 …
