No one said "we've won" - I believe I started it off by saying "this is great news for cows" - maybe I should have qualified that by saying "this is great news for some cows but not all cows" but that was implied. We are all well aware that the world is not going to be completely vegan anytime soon and yet it is wonderful to celebrate even tiny steps along the way and recently there have been a lot of tiny steps to celebrate.
I will continue to cheer every headline that shows even one less animal being hurt or tortured or killed.

The end of yogurt? Sales sour in U.S. as breakfast tastes change

What's eating yogurt?
Despite shelves full of new varieties -- from Icelandic to Australian to coconut-based -- U.S. yogurt sales are in a multiyear slump. Yogurt companies are confident that more new products can boost sales. But some analysts are skeptical, saying larger trends -- like growing sales of protein bars -- will be hard to turn around.
"Consumers are just not eating as much yogurt as they once did," said Caleb Bryant, associate director of food and drink reports for Mintel, a market research company....

⬆︎ Interesting. I really thought yogurt had remained popular. It makes sense that if people are eschewing diary that there would be a yogurt backlash as well.
I've actually gone back to eating some yogurt once or twice a week now that the stores are carrying more varieties of non-dairy yogurts. Maybe non-dairy yogurt sales are up?
Back in the day, I almost never bought "spoon-able" yogurt. If I had the time to sit down and eat - there were better choices. but I did like the drinkable yogurts that I could drink on the way to work. Especially Keifer with more different probiotics.
Haven't seen any non-dairy versions of those, tho.

But are they? That is my entire point. Wal Mart has this sinister way of monopolizing production of everything in their stores. That's one of the ways they drive other people out of business. So instead of this huge dairy company, there will still be smaller companies, including Wal Mart's factory farms (and you know Wal Mart will have a factory farm, they have child slaves in Asia making some of their clothes).
The amount of milk required to make cheese is so much more than to make milk for drinking that milk going down by 7 gallons per person per year, but cheese going up 8 pounds per person per year means that this math problem = no cows actually helped. No less cows are actually being harmed by cheese and butter going up while liquid milk goes down.
The only possible benefit I see in this is by breaking up this big huge dairy company, there will possibly be more small business, and less horrific factory farms.

A little off-topic, and I don't remember where I read or heard this.
Milk producers and government agencies, and Universities are scrambling to find new uses for dairy to offset the decline of demand.
this is reminiscent of what happened with corn. I think it was the Iowa State University that created a research program to find new uses of corn. I think it was ISU that first developed HFCS and Ethanol. We turn corn into so many products. Corn starch, corn meal and probably a lot of stuff I haven't heard of. I'll have to try to look this up.
There are a lot of products made from dairy but I wouldn't be surprised if they can invent some more.

Over here in Europe non dairy yogurt sales are up.
Alpro seems to be by far the leader and they have some innovative products such as coconut, oat, soya and various no added sugar fruit yogurts. They are also far cheaper compared to the US counterparts which are so very expensive.Plant based yogurt alternative | Big | Plain
To call it ‘plain’, is a bit of an injustice. With a
www.alpro.com
I tried Daiya yogurt with was virtually the same price (one tiny carton) as the large cartons that Alpro sells. Moreover, I found that the Daiya product doesn't taste anything like yogurt and wasn't tasty. I also tries So Delicious and it was far creamier and did taste a bit more like yogurt. On the whole, I wasn't impressed.
Danone Meets The Needs of Plant-Based Customers By Making Non-dairy Yogurts
The last year of sales has not been great for Danone, so they are looking to make some big changes to their brand. The biggest manufacturer of yogurt is now considering adding non-dairy yogurt options to its brands like Activia and Actimel, to benefit from the recent growth of veganism.
