Nobody wants to talk about why milk tastes like nothing now. It’s not in your head. Most of it is not coming from cows on grass. It is coming from giant confinement dairies where they feed the cows the same slop every day so they pump out as much milk as possible. Then they mix it all, smash the cream so it never rises, and cook it so it can sit on a truck and a store shelf for weeks. That is why it tastes cooked and cheap instead of like actual milk. A cow only makes milk if she keeps having babies. So they take the calf away within hours. Then a lot of those babies get stuck in little plastic boxes by themselves for weeks. That is standard practice today. They told us factory farming would make food cheaper. It did not. The mega farms produce milk for less. Then the processors, packagers, and grocery chains take their cut, and you still pay more at the store. Farmers get squeezed. You get worse milk. The calves sit in boxes. Everybody in the middle still makes money. This is the food system they built and then told us was “progress.” Giant monopolies running lower-quality, higher-profit operations. If you want milk that actually tastes like milk, buy local. Cream on top. Cows on grass. Not the sad white stuff they sell in the big stores.
