I do not have strong feelings about milk, other than not wanting to drink it and using it only sparingly as an ingredient. However the mention of this protest by dairy farmers was striking to me: One of the bad times I can remember was in the mid-to-late 90s - I was in elementary school - when milk prices were so low that some farmers were dumping their milk down the drain in protest. At some point in the past I read about EU farmers doing the same thing, spraying large volumes of milk in protest. This seems pretty ineffective to me as a means of swaying public opinion. If I were someone who actually buys milk, I think my feelings towards the industry doing this would not be to wish them well.
