This is where dairy farmers lost me: "Dairy companies have also opposed efforts to include plant-based alternatives in the public assistance program WIC."

30-50 million US persons cannot drink cows milk without suffering symptoms of lactose intolerance. Dairy farmers looking to protect their bottom line by removing plant-based alternatives from government programs aimed at helping poor families are going well beyond petty— they're being selfish.
