When many of us were younger, we couldn't leave the table without drinking our milk. This is because it made our bones and teeth nice and strong. However, milk sales are dropping at a frightening rate and the reason why will leave you stunned.
Milk Sales Are Dropping Because:
Industry leaders have warned farmers are facing a crisis as vegan diets followed by stars such as pop idols Miley Cyrus and Ellie Goulding are behind young people losing their taste for milk, cheese and eggs.
For a three-a-day campaign launched by the Global Dairy Platform will press home the benefits of the white stuff amid reports that children and young people are drinking less milk than their parents and grandparents.
Dairy UK chairman David Dobbin said farmers were facing a big drop in demand for milk as Mintel figures revealed 93% of over 55s in Britain drink milk compared with 81% of 16 to 34-year-olds.And a Kantar Worldpanel study found the over 65s drink milk 875 times a year compared with five to 24-year-olds who have a glass just 275 times a year.
Mr Dobbin told the European Federation of Animal Science in Belfast: “In the past children consumed a lot of dairy, but today’s children and teens don’t necessarily eat it.
“It’s a demographic time bomb. If we don’t address the problem now, then we are facing a fall-off in demand for dairy.”
