And we don't even need milk--it's a luxury item. Why can't the market take care of itself on this one?<BR/><BR/>It disgusts me that there's so much pressure to keep milk prices down so it can be forced on school children and used in the production of shady, hormone-ridden cheeses. Somewhere down the line, this is vital for companies Taco Bell and Kraft, but keeping their products cheap should not be a cause for the government (for numerous reasons).<BR/><BR/>If the dairy industry hadn't done such a good job convincing everyone that they must drink cow's milk every day--as if something produced by a cow for the nursing of her 4-stomached bovine young could really be a staple in human health--we might be spared at least this one insanity.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568473711813544808noreply@blogger.com
