These people are going to milk this pandemic for every panicky clickbait stirry they can.

Idiocy at its best. Meanwhile at ALL HEBs in Houston there is a 2 gallon limit on milk.

Surely there is a better solution to correct the supply chain issue?

Give it for free


If you have a milk tanker truck, I'm sure he'd give it to you for free or a major discount.

Dairy is another industry that the shutdown has shown is not needed.

Only reason they're in business today is their lobby got into the school system early on. Without the school lunch programs buying, DFA loses 73% of its sales.

No one over 10 drinks milk. 80% of people are lactose intolerant. We were not meant to drink cow's milk. Cheese, ice cream, and using it for cooking isn't going to support the overabundance of dairy farmers.

Milk is poison.

Why work your arse off for $55k a year when you can make $50k doing nothing?

Approximately 1/4 of milk production is used for beverage milk.

Worked on a dairy farm for several years and you really don't want to drink straight from the bulk tank.

Milk is unnecessary as you age, so maybe people should wean off of it and stop being so dependent on something they don’t need. I haven’t had dairy milk in I don’t know how long, so why are other adults so consumed by it?

That would mean 75% of the stuff in our lives.

We don't need a lot f the things we do, and there's nothing wrong with it.

Now we're talking. Show up in person at the government warehouse to get your basic necessities handed you. A literal handout. You want Ribeyes? Find another way to get them.

Another reason to make milk such as Fairlife. 3 month shelf life.
