This problem wouldn't exist at all if anyone was prepared to give consumers a break for the first time in over forty years, by actually lowering the price of butter.

The death-rattle of any business is to ingore the consumer. It's too bad the dairy industry can't figure that out.

Can you imagine the mess they would be in if the dairy farmers of Ontario did not get rid of the cream shippers and Parmalat, Kraft and Saputo were not importing four billion dollars worth of skim milk powder from other countries to make real Canadian cheese. But I see the usual answer on this article spoken by people in the know---cut quota and get rid of more family farms.
