According to the USDA's Economic Research Service, total per capita consumption of all fluid milk products was 181 pounds in 2005, or about 21 gallons per capita. Americans’ opting away from whole milk and dairy products and toward low-fat milk and dairy products reflects their awareness of health and wellness.
Around 33% of all the milk produced by the US’ 9 billion or so cows* is processed into milk for drinking or dairy products like yoghurt, yoghurt smoothies, and flavored milk drinks.
