Well, this may **** off some people, BUT, my family owned a dairy farm up until I was 16, and I can tell you from experience... The government has been screwing dairy farmers for years. It is about time they did something to help them out a little. I dont like paying $4.00 a gal. for my milk either, but I would rather pay it than see more small farmers go out of business. People who didnt grow up on a farm, or in a farming region dont understand those things though.

Oh and men shouldn't drink soy milk, if they want to stay men. Just recently read a medical report about that. Something about female hormones? I can't exactly remember.

I believe soy milk has compounds called phytoestrogens in it. Personally I will never again eat anything soy, just the taste of that crap almost makes me puke. I feel for the small dairy framers but the big agricultural corporations don't get much sympathy from me, they have been driving smaller farmers out of business for years.
