Reading the April 5 column âAlternative milksâ by Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Mike Roizen in LNP | LancasterOnline compelled me to write to clarify the benefits of dairy milk.
I am a dairy farmer, a Penn State University graduate and chairman of the Pennsylvania Milk Marketing Board.
Trading magic beans for a cow was a fable. Trading cowâs milk for plant milk is also, in my view, a fable. Milk is a mammalian secretion and, the last time I checked, plants are not mammals.
Many places around the world, such as Canada and within the European Union, have recognized this fact. Apparently, here in the United States, the Food and Drug Administration is still looking for some magical udder to appear on plants.
In the past Iâve written about the legislated duties and other responsibilities of the Pennsylvania Milk Marketing Board.
Today I want to take this opportunity to share what the board and staff have been doing and have planned over the next few months.
The months of November through February have involved staff writing testimony and exhibits for February and March cost replacement hearings. These hearings occur once a year and create the base pricing structure for wholesale and retail pricing. Wholesale prices take into consideration the expenses incurred by processors to purchase, process and transport fluid dairy products and include such things as labor, cost of cold storage, ingredients such as chocolate and sugar and other items.
