The dairy industry is bleeding; vegan diets to be blamed

We may have switched to plant-based and dairy-free diets for many reasons, but its hurting the dairy industry dearly. The Dairy Farmers of America revealed this month that its total sales had dropped by roughly $1.1 billion dollars compared to the previous year. The organization attributes the drop in net sales to deduction in milk prices and also perhaps to the rise of oat, nut, soy, and other alternative “milk” products at third-wave coffee shops, and grocery stores across the country.
