That's not really a good description though. Milk is still relatively cheap - the problem is that there a number of new milk substitutes (soy milk? yogurt?) that have come one the market that people want more then plain old milk. Those new milk substitutes are great but they're not cheap. We can certainly get the people making them to sell them cheaper. The only downside is that the disincentive to create still newer milk substitutes. If you're really happy with the status quo - or even really happy with plain old milk - then this is a good situation. If you wonder about something better then this is good touched by a bit of worry.
