This news article (in today's newspaper) stated that government subsidies are due to expire at the end of the year and the fear is that it will cause the price of dairy to rise.
Whatever happened to letting "supply and demand" do its thing in a free market? Dairy is not an essential need in life. It may be something you want because it goes good on pizza and goes well with cereal, but it's not an essential need.
Why should we all pay for dairy subsidies so dairy lovers won't have to pay more?

It is an essential for babies...or at least the government thinks so. IMO, that's why it's subsidized, so mothers can provide it to their children at a reasonable cost.
