I'd always heard that dairy gets quite a lot of subsidies, including from advertising like the "Got milk?" ads. A quick search seems to support this. It'd be interesting to hear from someone who's dug into this a lot more.
How is the National Diary Council paying for advertising, which is a lobbyist group made up of dairies, a subsidy?
Their subsidies are in things like the farm bill where they are protected by tariffs and our weird obsession with pasteurization. Our dairy industry does a bunch of exporting milk powder to the 3rd world.
