Dairy

The fight between public-health concerns and the food industry's needs will play out on school lunch menus—again.

The USDA's support of the dairy industry has changed the American diet and welfare state forever.

In 2009, researchers found that cows with names produce more milk, confirming the quaint Wisconsin dairy adage, "Speak to a cow as you would to a lady."

Although research debunks white supremacists' claims about lactose intolerance, race has long played a role in American milk-drinking.

Raising cattle won't wreck the environment—if we do it right.
