We have blood sausages, why wouldn't we drink some animals milk. Humans have been also eating entrails and brains for a long time, so milk is just another ingredient in the omnivorous diet of humans.

You point out the for-profit incentives of dairy industry, but surely you don't think that it is much different for non-dairy/vegan products. Of course they are also pushing for same kind of acceptance at societal level, which means $$$.

The fact that demand for dairy was "manufactured" is somewhat orthogonal to whether or not it is for-profit.

Vegan cheeses aren't subsidized at 73 cents on the dollar, dairy is.

Ok, I can grant dairy should not be subsidized. It would make it more expensive but that would be fair, and eating cheese would be something a bit more special, as it should.

[whimsicalism]

Yeah, I also got the number wrong - it's 73 cents on the dollar not 40.
