America's largest milk producer files for bankruptcy
- Thread starter Saucycarpdog
- Start date
This better not fuck with my eggnog supply. I get that people are drinking less milk but you wouldn't think it could destroy a company this large with a pretty diverse portfolio.
Also this. Why not use the Land O Lakes brand, which most people recognize, to push out soy or almond milk? I think it's disgusting but my wife uses soy milk for her coffee.

It's wild to me that a company "tumbling" 7% is grounds for bankruptcy. feel like that is indicative of something that goes far beyond the dairy industry. There's entirely way too much focus on YoY growth, and that leads to cutting corners, cutting benefits and pay, pleas to deregulate, etc. Then the kicker at the end is when they file for bankruptcy the top shareholders and executives don't suffer at all and walk away with millions.
I need to try Soy and Oat.
I LOVE cow's milk, but I'm no/low carb now. I've enjoyed Almond milk so far, but I'm open to a better tasting option (if they taste worse I'm sticking to Almond).
Switching to A2 milk was a good compromise for me and my wife (who seems to have a milk allergy). It tastes like regular milk, just a bit more expensive (but less so than goat milk). I'd really like to try more camel milk, but it's really expensive. They should make milk less of a commodity product because there's a lot of complexity to it, and people in the know would pay for that.
I love both unsweetened plain and unsweetened vanilla. I agree about wanting a "neutral" taste for the most part, though.
Never had that brand before
Sorry milk companies, if my body didn't become lactose Intolerant and start rejecting dairy at 25, I wouldn't have to drink almond milk

How come no cereal brand his risen up designed around alt-milk. Tastes better with almond milk or some such
The writing is on the wall for the conventional milk
No longer "part of a nutritious breakfast"

Why are you guys mentionning almond milk? So much water consumption in the dryest state to produce liquid crap
Regular milk (and cream) isn't going to go away, but I do see it becoming more niche as time goes on.
I can tolerate the half and half alternatives for my coffee, but nothing out there compares to real cheese and butter. I'm fine with paying more for dairy products produced humanely.

This year. They've been in decline for a long time. Around 10 years now. It was to be expected, especially after Walmart dropped them. So kinda what you are saying doesn't really relate to this bankruptcy.
California produces ~20% of the dairy in the US, the most in the country
People who drink almond milk despite the environmental impacts are complaining about the dairy industry.
Markiest marks that ever marked.

Eh. It's ok. I bought a container of Oatly Barista edition to try in my coffee. It was...ok. It definitely has an Oaty flavor.
Not good enough to get me to stop buying half and half, but good enough in a pinch.
So I take it the U.S. Gov. doesn't subsidise it like other countries? Here in Germany it is, France, UK etc
like the one thing the us government does subsidize is farming
Lots of things that are good have the side-effect of lost jobs....
We lose jobs when we move away from depending on oil and coal to renewable energies too.
Someone linked it earlier in the thread, but yeah we subsidize the hell out of dairy.
Edit here are some videos on it

and slash-burned rain forest land ends up as soy farms. cheering anything here is complicated.
Land O' Lakes is totally separate from Dean. I believe Dean could license the Land O'Lakes brand, but I'm pretty sure that was only for milk.
Also people are trying to eat less beef and use less milk because cattle and carbon footprint stuff.
They are the largest producer in the country so I can't imagine anyone in the United States buying them. If they do find a buyer it will most likely be a foreign company who want shorter supply routes. A lot of people are going to lose jobs during that transition.
People saying they have never heard of them need to look at their sub and regional brands.
They are Barber's for example that is like the brand of milk in Alabama and most of Georgia and Mississippi

yeah oat is definitely the best alternative milk. hemp milk tastes better to me but it's too expensive.
I didn't have oat milk until I went to iceland and it was in the fridge. So good. I was converted immediately.
I've gone from dairy milk > soy > almond > flax and now pea milk. I like using Ripple original flavor for black tea.
My man! Pea milk is the creamiest to me, matches that milk texture the most out of all the alternatives.
Absolutely. Black tea + Ripple + Dunkin' Donuts Extra Creamy = delish breakfast tea
Maybe they can be sold by division to create lekker, better operating smaller companies.
I seem to be the only one here that likes cowmilk though.

It's sold in the UK, so I assume so.
I think it's just that soy, almond and oat are more popular.
Lots of thumbs up out there for almond milk. However, it uses a high amount of water compare to other non-dairy milks:
And most of it is grown in California, where drought is a major issue.
