A huge part of the problem is that other products that are not milk are now allowed to market themselves as “milk” including “almond milk” “soy milk” and “oat milk”. Combine that with the current phobia of anything to do with cows due to the climate scam, and you have a serious market problem for dairy producers.
I try to encourage all my family members to drink actual milk, although several are convinced they have allergies and lactose intolerance. Our society is consumed with hypocondria.
Adults shouldn’t really ever drink milk anyway. It’s not good for you as an adult. A little cheese, whipped cream here and there and a dessert, maybe a little cream in the coffee if you’re that kind of person. But no adult should be drinking glasses of milk.
But I think you have the point about soy milk, oat milk, almond milk and all these other things. My wife puts cream in her coffee. Once at the store she asked me to pick up some more half-and-half, and I couldn’t believe how hard I had to look in the milk cabinet to find just regular milk.
I agree...we created a “no milk for me” population.
Milk allergies and lactose intolerance are real conditions.
May they visit you to prove it.
