Got Milk?

Although just about everyone has seen the “got milk?” ads on television and in print, most people do not know that under the federal Dairy Promotion Program dairy farmers are forced to pay for them. The Cochrans, for example, must pay approximately $4,000 a year from their thin operating budget for advertisements that obscure the distinctions between the Cochrans’ traditional farmed milk and the milk of large-scale producers.

That is shocking, deplorable and despicable. Quite an appropos quote from Thomas Jefferson at the end, too.
