	AlterNet: Not Milk: The USDA, Monsanto, and the U.S. Dairy Industry
		The dairy industry has spent billions of dollars convincing us that milk is healthy, all the while pumping chemicals into cows and the milk itself that makes it deadly.
		Dairy subsidies are a carryover from the Depression era, when survival of small dairy farmers was considered essential to maintaining a national food supply.
		Further, as consolidation continues to occur in the dairy industry, federal subsidies are going to an increasingly small number of highly concentrated dairy operations, hanging small farmers out to dry and encouraging the demise of family farms.

	3. The dairy industry
		According to Chantalakhana (1995), dairy farming in Thailand during the 1940s and 1950s was unimportant, and mainly in the hands of dairy cattle raisers of Indian or Pakistani origin living in the suburban areas of Bangkok.
		It seems that while the industry was to play a role in the improvement of Thai diets and in saving foreign exchange, perhaps of more importance was the industry’s perceived ability to contribute to the social objective of improving the incomes of poor producers and rural households with little or no land.
		The dairy industry has played a part in the restructuring of the Thai agricultural sector that was mentioned in the first section of this report.

	Factory Farming - Dairy Production
		Another dairy industry disease caused by intensive milk production is "Milk Fever." This ailment is caused by calcium deficiency, and it occurs when milk secretion depletes calcium faster than it can be replenished in the blood.
		The abuse wreaked upon the bodies of dairy cows is so intense that the dairy industry also is a huge source of "downed animals" — animals who are so sick or injured that they are unable to walk even stand.
		Although the dairy industry is familiar with the cows' health problems and suffering associated with intensive milk production, it continues to subject cows to even worse abuses in the name of increased profit.

	Oligopoly Watch
		As the authors, USDA economists, observe, "Traditional dairy companies that manufactured and sold a full line of dairy products (fluid milk, ice cream, cream, cheese, butter, and canned milk) have disappeared from the scene." Many of these local enterprises were bought out by institutional investors and conglomerates.
		As a result, the diary industry has developed into a set of concentrated companies with clear "core competencies," and that may mean specializing in one set of products only (cheese, yogurt, ice cream) or in dominating specific markets.
		The dairy cooperatives tend to be more dominant in the fresh milk and butter area, the proprietary companies in branded cheeses and cultured products (yogurt).
