Milk as Food Bargain Worth Its Price Says Experts
College Station nutritionists led by A. M. Meekma claim duplicating a quart of milk’s nutrients costs about 43 cents in other foods. Dr. Mayo touts milk as high value for money, noting milk covers large shares of calcium and proteins. Milk consumes 18-20 percent of family budgets, yet delivers 23-26 percent of calories and substantial vitamins and minerals.
