It even explicitly says that younger people are consuming cheese at similar rates. How the hell did this ever become news?
Enjoy the cringe :D
Milk sucks, fuck off, its only purpose is to be turned into something else like butter or cheese that actually tastes good.
Lol they hired a milk shill who doesn’t even like dairy milk. A great way to encourage young people who already hate you and are skeptical of companies to buy your product is by lying to them. They don’t even bother to make tiktok ads or hire influencers which would’ve been more effective .
She grew up hearing that dairy products weren’t good for her sports-induced asthma. Then her sister became a vegan and made a strong case against them. But Ms. Zapata is dedicated to getting women with different shapes and from different cultures to embrace running, so she joined #TeamMilk.
“I feel like that’s more important than whether milk is good for you,” she said.
“I want to encourage women to become healthy, but it doesn’t matter if their diet is healthy or not.”
Absolute milk for brains. Sounds like a good spokesperson for Planet Fitness.
Some milk marketers have created Shark Tank-like contests that encourage small food entrepreneurs to invent dairy-based products aimed directly at Gen Z. One winner was Spylt, a caffeinated chocolate milk whose tagline is “Chill it. Then chug it!”
:grillman:
It took nearly 30 years, but we finally invented an even more 1990s-ass product than we ever did in the 1990s
I've seen one since what feels like the 90s called "INTENSE Milk" at checkouts... 500kCal/66g of sugar!

Boomers who relentlessly mocked young people for drinking lattes:
:surprised-pika:
I bet all the antibiotics fed to cows made us more lactose intolerant faster. I can't even eat ice cream any more. It's not a choice it makes me feel pretty junk.
Yeah, I didn't come into not eating dairy through any line of ethics or cost or taste. I got tired of diarrhea coming out of my doodoo ass, feeling like shit constantly, and always breaking out. I got rid of dairy and surprise surprise, I feel better in every metric. No amount of Ag lobbying will ever bring me back
I wonder how many Americans just keep chugging milk even after they've become lactose intolerant. I went several years eating cereal and milk every morning even though I kind of knew something was wrong. There's just so much cultural momentum to keep eating and drinking the same stuff that everyone else does.
Very cool that the US dairy industry can just release a new boring slogan and get days of frer, fawning press
does america have enormous dairy subsidies like they do here?
my bougie nut milk is wildly more expensive than cow milk almost entirely because of subsidies
edit: for context, cow milk is 68p per litre, dairy free milk starts at £2 per litre and the cheapest one tastes grim
In the 80s the USA had so much surplus cheese that Reagan just gave all of it away. Also that Dominos "We used to suck, but we're good now" campaign was subsidized by the American Dairy Association.
does america have enormous dairy subsidies like they do here?
Yes.
dairy free milk starts at £2 per litre
I haven't bought cow's milk in a while, except for stealing a little of that ultra-filtered milk from the animal abuse company to try out a weird recipe. I guess that stuff is pretty close to lactose free milk. But at least around the places I've been, the cheapest non-dairy milks are usually almondmilks at $1/L if buying a 2L carton (which I still don't buy because someone told me the water use for it in CA is absurd and also the almond industry lobbying vis-a-vis Iran). I think they taste fine.
Do they have like.... Higher end ones in UK? There's a couple I've seen that are like 11g of fat per cup (240mL) that are like $4-5/L. Tried the cashewmilk version of that kind, wasn't a fan really.
People are milking all kinds of shit now, I actually rotate between a couple... Flax, hemp, cashew, macadamia, pistachio, pea, rice, hazelnut, walnut... I haven't tried coconut or bananamilk, or sunflower seed.
almond milk here is slightly cheaper than £2, at £1.95
i don't know if they're higher end tbh, having not tried the american ones
Bug fact: plant based drinks can not be called 'milk' in Schnitzelland. It is law, and you will go to jail (probably)
And it was only decided after calling them "(plant) milk" was so common that literally no one was confused about whether it was from a cow or not. Timing sus :soviet-hmm:
(Edit: I meant to reply to WoofWoof91, but it's probably true anyway)
Consoomer: I consent. Distribootor: I consent. Animal Ag: isnt there someone you forgot to ask?
:geordi-no: milk truck just arrive
:geordi-yes: milk train just arrive
oat milk absolutely blows cows milk the fuck out
try an oat milk hot chocolate and tell me that shit doesn't give you goosebumps
Apparently literally unthinkable. The EU had a milk quota not that long ago that did it's numbers to regulate price and keep dairy fairms in good money. But they thought "man if those dang quotas weren't there we could sell so much more and get even richer"
So the milk quota was lobbied out of existence and see here, they're getting less than what it costs to produce now because they're all in direct competition with each other and they pretty much all thought what was stopping them from getting rich was the quota
There's like an easy fix here: bring the quota back. This'd be such a fucking easy sell, too, stopping the economy destroying milk exports to africa, better for the planet, but nope, all they do is do is basically tractor freedom protests because the EU is destroyign their business with these dang ecological regulations that no one controls anyways.
They got what they wanted and they hate it so, so fucking much
One of the few tolerable things about the US is the abundance for food, you'd think that since it could grow like weeds, we'd have no hungry people...ever.
Have replaced milk in almost all of my cooking and baking with coconut milk and I don't regret it.
