I pay about the same for a gallon of milk and I don't think I'm being "screwed over" by cows!
Start drinking 5-10 gallons of milk a day and heat your house with warm milk, you might start singing another tune, Or, buy your own cow...
People pay a buck for 12 oz of water and think nothing of it. Too lazy to fill a bottle with tap water. Walk to the store to save gas?? Yeh, right!!
