If this was the 60’s or before this might have been an issue. Back then they had anti margarine laws on the books. No stores could sell that fake stuff before 1967 .



Love almond milk. Mainly because I am so tired of tossing expired real milk out.



I remember hearing stories about Viet Nam vets coming back stateside. There was a little bar in the airport and the first thing soldiers would ask for was a glass of milk. Keep in mind that whole milk was the main milk product in those days. The bartender would tell every one of them no. That they were not ready for it. When they kept insisting/begging that they had been dreaming of drinking a cold fresh glass of milk for months he would give them a glass and they would all throw it up as soon as it hit their stomachs. He went on to tell them they were not use to milk any more. (Powered milk didn’t count.) He said they needed to start with “Blue milk” move on to skim milk, 2% and then back to whole milk. He also said it would take a few months for their systems to get to that point. I just did a quick check and I don’t even see a blue milk reference other than for Star Wars.



Can you imagine how large the barns would have to be in WI if they had a herd of 5000? How about the heating costs associated with larger herds? I am not sure what grazing is like in the milking area of Cali but I am assuming that the cows can at least augment their diet with grass most of the time if it isn’t already their main food source.

The talking teenage cow ads are doing a pretty good job of letting people know that Cali is a giant milk producer.
