"Consumption of milk per capita has gone down every year over the last 30 years," says Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. "Actually, it's gone down by more than 20 per cent since 2015."

While bagged milk is often cited as a unique Canadianism, it's actually not sold west of Ontario. Those who prefer it, however, say it's more cost efficient and some even believe it tastes better.

I just had a shower thought, probably dumb and I am tired, but how about pipes to deliver regular liquids/fluids? ๐Ÿค”

I think I read somewhere in Germany brewery would have pipes to bars delivering a continuous supply of beer.

Now let's do that with ultrafiltered and/or ultra-high-temperature milk (less prone to spoiling).

How about adding pipes for beer (or some other alcohol or wine), cooking oil (whichever most suitable), and any other frequently used liquid I forgot?

If spoilage is well controlled, would that be a less energy intensive distribution method?

Isn't milk kinda useless for humans after they stop being toddlers?

I've yet to see adults drinking milk naturally meant for humans(aka breast milk) the dairy industry really got us good in brain washing

This isn't a Canadian specific thing. Its common in most of the world.

But the problem isnt milk, its animal milk. Soy and oat milk should be fine.
