Market  forces increased the quantity of milk available, but not the

And there, someone said it, thanks Susan. I have a real problem with Dairy  
having its own cup while all other foods share one plate in the new MyPlate 
 idea. It seems to have an even more elevated, unique status than in  the 
previous pyramid.  I figure that must be a reflection of the Dairy  lobby in 
the US. Toddlers and preschoolers who are eating solids should  have milk in 
a  breast in their drawing -that I would be ok  with...:)
