Anyway, the idea that no one publishes disposal numbers is obviously incorrect, as the the Dairy Farmers of Ontario published their disposal volumes in their annual reports, and pre-pandemic it averaged about 1-1.5% of production. That's about 80-85% lower than the study's estimate. And most milk isn't dumped completely; the cream is removed for other uses and just the skim milk is disposed.
Also, I just realized that one of the study authors is the so-called "Food Professor" Sylvain Charelebois. That makes me even more skeptical, as that guy basically functions as a mouthpiece for grocery monopolies.

So you won't trust this guy, but you'll trust the Dairy Farmers of Ontario to actually be accurate in reporting how much they dump, even though we all know that they would have literally no reason to lie about that. Literally not a SINGLE reason.
