“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.

      As a lactose intolerant west coaster I’m really confused if that’s setting people off. We’ve got a huge Asian population out here and lactose intolerance is much higher among them. Personally, while we’re not of Asian descent both me and my partner are lactose intolerant so finding reasonable dairy products that don’t give us diarrhea is a priority - and we’re not shy of making our own stovetop cheese if all we can get is milk.

        Right, the dude used it as a flippant insult as if lactose intolerance is a West Coast fad when in reality there’s lactose intolerance is everywhere and isn’t a fad
