Changing consumer habits could spell the end of bagged milk (ottawa.ctvnews.ca)

"Consumption of milk per capita has gone down every year over the last 30 years," says Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. "Actually, it's gone down by more than 20 per cent since 2015."

While bagged milk is often cited as a unique Canadianism, it's actually not sold west of Ontario. Those who prefer it, however, say it's more cost efficient and some even believe it tastes better.

It's funny we have no issues drinking milk from many animals, but people would be grossed out knowing it's milk from a human breast, and wouldn't drink it.

Edit: changed any to many

Bruh we definitely have issues drinking milk from other animals.

Have you ever seen anyone drink Dog Milk? Cat Milk? Possum Milk? Pangolin Milk? Motherfuckin... Platypus Milk? They all mammals.

Oh yeah hit me with that shot of platypus milk. 🀀

What I'm wondering is, we have made strides to synthetically make milk with the use of yeast to make the proteins. So theoretically, we could make any milk. Why are we making cows milk this way?

[–] Patches@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Because we have an entire industry of cows that produce so much milk that they must be milked, or they will get sick and die.
