How is the quality of cheese relevant to the sale of bagged milk?
You're not making cheese with dirt and flowers.
Nor are most people making cheese with bagged milk from the grocery stores.
Do you usually make the cheeses you buy in the grocery store?
Your argument makes no sense.
I don't. That's my point.
Where do you think the milk in cheese comes from?
Milk purchased in bulk from dairy farms, not bagged milk from the grocery stores.
Do you think milk from dairy farms and milk in cheese products come from different sources?? [They don't]
Cheese producer buys milk from farm X to make cheese. Grocery store also buys bagged milk from farm X. Cheese producer makes low quality cheese. How will that lead to people buying less bagged milk?
I said this in another branch of this thread, but I'll repeat it here. You can make the argument that low quality milk from farm X leads to people buying less milk, but I don't see how low quality cheese can cause people to buy less milk.
You don't see how consumers would equate bad milk with bad cheese? We're done here. You have no clue what you're talking about.
It's literally in this thread.
I don't. If the milk I get from grocery stores taste good to me, why would I drink less of it if there's no good cheese?
There are probably some slight differences between milk used for further processing and milk sold directly to consumers but it's of a very similar quality. A lot of cheese in Canada is made from third party milk rather than milk produced on premises.
You can make the argument that the quality of milk in general is dropping, and that's reflected in the quality of milk products. But to say that poor quality of milk products themselves are driving the decrease in milk consumption? I don't see how the logic follows.
