The *best* and easiest way to help all of them is by not paying to

have to suffer.

I put "Dairy consumption is down 40% in the UK and USA" into a search
engine, and the first hit came up with this:

"The consumption of dairy products has increased during the pandemic,
with experts cautiously optimistic about the future of the UK dairy
market. "

I wonder where T i m got his falsehood from? Probably another fanatical
vegan.

I cut out milk at the start of lockdown to save frequent shop visits - and
it's something that's been on my mind for a while. Added bonus - saved a few
hundred kg of C02 and 60,000 litres of water, which is nice :-)

I have a couple of cartons of UHT milk for those occasions. Talking of
CO2, have you considered the miles and CO2 from transporting soya and
other milk substitutes?

I thought the main issue with cattle was methane, but it's rarely
mentioned there are food additives that can stop the production of
methane, if it was thought important.

I'd guess others did similar.

I find milk I keep in the fridge will last a week or more.

YMMV
