There are far cheaper alternatives out there to still be drinking milk if it hurts your wallet, that's why |

The cause for the hike in milk prices isn't nearly as shady as it is for oil prices.

The GOP is just coaxing their lowest common denominator supporters into believing that the Democrats are directly responsible for the price rise as those people have no clue about how gas is priced. |
Are they?
Hmmm, sounds familliar.

good point.
Probably because cars dont run on milk, and your LCD TV doesnt plug into a cows utter.
I can do without a bowl of cereal if goes down. Besides, we are the only full grown species on the planet that continues to drink the milk of a mammal throughout adulthood. Its unneccessary for a high quality of life.
PS. I love cheese |

In Mexico, the government considers certain foods a necessary. Milk is one of them. When milk producers try to raise the price of milk, people go ape and start protesting in the streets. |

Dairy increases your chances to get cancer tremendously. They are using the RGB hormones in cows nowadays that is causing unique health problems in this country. RGB wasn't meant for human consumption and mutates cells when consumed regularly.
People want to make fun of vegans, but from first hand experience when I worked in the gastrointestinal lab at the hospital, the vegans had byfar the healthiest digestive tract I've seen. A 50 year old man came in and had the lining of a 14 year old, after we woke him up, the doctor informed him of his amazing health. The guy was emphatically telling us "see that's why you should go vegan, I've been vegan for 20 years". There were numerous patients we had that shocked me when I saw how healthy their colon, intestines and stomach were and when I looked at their charts they all said vegan on them. Then there were people in their late 20s that had polyps already forming, something you normally don't see until your 40s. I decided after seeing all the first hand facts that I really should cut meat and milk out of my diet. Eventually I phased it out and now I'm vegan for these health reasons. Watch the movie Forks over Knives, I guarantee you will at least reconsider what foods you do and do not eat.
You want milk, just drink rice milk. It tastes better than cow milk anyway |

Or you can buy your milk "organic". Aside from being safer, organic milk lasts considerably longer than non organic milk too. |

giving up milk is easy (soy works fine). Its the cheese part that is difficult. |

They still have the hormone in the cows from birth as the mom's hormones transfer over in the umbilical cord during pregnancy. They say organic, but it just means the food they eat has no synthetic pesticides. They still use pesticides (especially a carcinogen like argon) on anything that says organic on the label, it's one of the biggest misleading labels ever. They've tried to sue many times to have organic labels that use organic pesticides to put on their labels that they use pesticides still, but our good old friends at Monsanto fought this and won. Sickening |

for $100, gas price fluctuations are due to the instability of what region? remember your answer must be in the form of a question
e: IIRC, the current situation in Iran has been affecting the EU gas pricing (maybe not anymore, someone from EU would have to comment) but not in the US because we dont buy iranian oil, however the actual pricing of oil changes due to the situation in iran, which is quite possible one of the drives for the recent $.20-$.40 increases |
