> How does the 'economy' work for your Milk and Cereal producers? Just fine.

By "Just Fine" you mean there's currently a hullabaloo about what can legally be called Milk? In a story of naming rights and lawsuits, various non-dairy milks have come to market, and the traditional dairy farmers, unable to hack it, have taken to the courtroom instead of actually competing. Sound familiar?

Again, the completely inconsistent argumentation here: have you every had difficulty finding and buying Milk? No?

The market for Milk, like most other things works perfectly fine - like any other market.

The mental gymnastics going on here is like Cirque Du Soleil.

People don't want to pay and that's that.

'Anything' that you like, given the choice to have 'for free' , well, people will 'get it for free' if that option is available.

And that's it.
