NEWARK, Del. The U.S.
dairy industry has an organization
to promote cow’s milk and its pro
ducts. Why, then, is it profitable
for so many milk-processing com
panies to market non-dairy
products?
For years here in our agricultur
al college building offices. I’ve
argued against non-dairy cream
ers, which are used almost exclu
sively for coffee breaks! But the
fact remains that the milk industry
has yet to come up with an equally
convenient package of coffee
creamer made from real milk.
Even better would be a product
made from 1 percent milk to cater
to people who love milk, but
because of their diets refuse to
drink fat cream in their coffee.
Of course, non-dairy products
are loaded with coconut oil and
other undesirable fats, but the
label print is so small that many
people don’t bother to read the
contents.
It also seems that people forego
drinking milk and spend SS cents
for a 12-ounce can of “diet” soda
with “1 calorie” content. Fifty
five cents for coined water! At
this average price per can, soda is
$1.47 a quart or $5.88 a gallon...
This is a prime example of the
deception of promotion.
It’s remarkable that intelligent
people will shell out $5.88 for col
ored water when an equal amount
of milk (even without the fat calo
ries as in skim milk) costs only
$2.49 a gallon. And milk contains
protein value, minerals, vitamins
and calcium.
Milk prices received by far
mers, already on a downward
slide, are predicted to drop further
in the near future because of a
milk surplus. And there is no shor
tage of cheese, which would hold

Real dairy “creamers” would
contribute to our daily minimum
intake of calcium, for which the
primary source is milk.
In our university offices I’ve
faced another debate when argu
ing against the coconut fat in non
dairy creamers. Our plant science
people defend their soybean
growing farmers, pointing out that
now soybean oil often replaces
coconut fat.
Is this substitute much better?
In recent weeks we’ve learned that
margarine is not as good for our
health and longevity as their
industry promotion has led us
believe. It’s made from com or
soybean oils.
How do real milk and soybean
imitation milk compare?
Real milk is ready for human
consumption as it comes from the
