When I was in school in Canada, the dairy industry had captured the food pyramid and dairy itself had been made into one of the four main good groups. It was like "remember to drink 8 cups of milk and a brick of cheese every day." Plus there was the eternal mystery of what a "serving" was

Now we have a picture of a plate and it's like "half veggies, quarter grains, quarter protein. Only drink water. Simple enough for ya?"

In the US, Dairy is still a food group.

The government still heavily subsidizes dairy. During the pandemic millions of gallons of milk were being poured down the drain due to schools not providing lunches.

Real grapes of wrath shit.
