8. Got Milk? Increasingly, the Answer Is No

                Because sodas are more accessible and milk has become more expensive, the amount of milk consumed has dropped.  Many people, also, do not tend to drink milk at breakfast anymore.  This is because they do not eat this meal at home, and they are not likely to buy it at a breakfast-serving fast-food restaurant.  Even some schools have also stopped serving milk, because of its fatty properties, flavored milk especially such as chocolate and strawberry.  Many people have stopped eating white bread and switched to wheat bread, this has hurt the milk company as well.  Making white bread requires more milk than making wheat bread.  People are not eating white bread, so there is less being made and less milk being purchased for the purpose of making it.

                This article is very strong, using a lot of supporting evidence and statistics.  It was written by a man named Brad Tuttle, who seems to be upset by the dropping purchases in milk.  The statistics are sad though, all my life I was told that milk is very important, making me drink plenty of it my whole life.  But as the saying goes, no use crying over spilled milk.
