"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.

It's funny we have no issues drinking milk from many animals, but people would be grossed out knowing it's milk from a human breast, and wouldn't drink it.

Edit: changed any to many

I've always wondered about the bagged milk... Don't they get broken a lot? I'm genuinely curious

Bagged milk was available in MB in the late 80s/early 90s, but it disappeared some time after that.

Is this.. Milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk..?

Are these changing consumer habits mostly being driven by how insanely expensive and low quality milk products are becoming? Canadian cheese and butter are trash and cost an arm and a leg - especially when you get into goat and sheep cheeses that a lot of lactose intolerant west coasters prefer.

We're talking about milk here, not milk products.

Is milk somehow not a milk product? I think my point stands for milk products in general - goat milk is insanely expensive in Canada and it's not significantly more expensive to produce than cow's milk.
