What Type of Milk Do You Drink?
Got (one percent) milk?

Despite Other Rising Food Costs, Dairy Prices Have Fallen
From rising avocado prices to the McDonald's Dollar Menu falling on hard times, over the last year, every section of the food industry has paid the price of cost increases. One segment of the food world, however, seems to have taken an opposite turn.
Prices of dairy products have seen a downward trend, as the weakening global economy has caused demand to decrease for US exports like milk.
