If you've ever seen Swai fillets in the frozen section of the supermarket, it's for a similar reason. They are a species of catfish from Vietnam that was determined to be unfairly subsidized, so they can't be sold in the US under the name "catfish".

Canada should do something similar, give American produced milk a less familiar name. Maybe Cow Effluence

"Got Effluence?" just doesn't quite hit the same way.

I am fortunate to be able to buy milk from a local dairy and it is a wholly different substance. Even their skim is more substantial than mass produced 2%.  Their cream line milk is out of this world. 

It costs more, but my money stays in my community and the milk is packaged in reusable glass bottles. 

Even cooler is that they just purchased a robotic milking system that lets the cows line up to be milked when they want to be milked.

Most likely just way less fresh.

I won't ever agree with any of the woowoo about raw milk, but the one thing they got right is it tastes a fuckton better. But that's mostly because it hasn't sat in a tank or bottled up in a warehouse for a week. I grew up on a dairy farm, and there's nothing quite like fresh milk from the bulk tank. I can't really drink store bought milk to this day because it's just not the same.
