Once Again, Milk Is A Cash Cow

(CBS) As a middleman in the milk business, Stephen Schwartz saw it first.

"The price of milk is going up astronomically!" he told CBS News Correspondent Anthony Mason.

Schwartz owns Meadowbrook Farms, a milk processing company.

"Are these the highest prices you've seen," Mason asked.

"Yes! Yes! And it's scary," Schwartz replied. "I can't believe I'm gonna be seeing milk selling for over $4 a gallon in the supermarkets over the summer."

A year ago, farmers were getting 95 cents a gallon for their raw milk. By this summer, that's expected to double. What's happening?

What does milk have to do with missiles? What does milk have to do with Iraq? In my opinion, everything. Before I saw this show on Comcast, one of thiose Community 'good' shows, I thought this but the show obviously reenforced it.

There are NOT enought material resourced on Earth for the amount of people on Earth. This Comcast show had a panel of 'old style' guests. What I would call all moral guests. There wasn't an obvious bias as you see with Limbaugh, North, Fineman, Novak, Fox, CNN... Everyone on the panel told the TRUTH using honest facts and honest rationale. Any, one of the key guys was a Stanford Dr. who clearing pencilled out the math on resourced per human. (Wow, I just thought of this, they didn't pencil in the animals/plants as being one of Gods living entities who also consume resources.)

Any way again, Iraq/Middle East is about resources and profit.

1. Wow!!! Crazy Milk will cost more than gas?!?

Dairy farmers must be making a killing. Isn't the US Government buy up milk to prop up the price anyway? This should stop. We should allow the import of cheap milk products from the third world too.

2. And with three kids, a pregnant wife..

and the occasional bowl of cereal myself...

I think I buy more milk than gasoline.

3. Milk has always cost more than gas

As for importing cheap milk from the Third World, it wouldn't be cheap after it was shipped to the US.
