One Panel #634: Big Milk

From Wonder Woman: "The Milk Swindle" by William Moulton Marston and Harry G. Peter, Sensation Comics #7 (July 1942)

The milk lobby, amirite? We don't need to drink milk ALL OUR LIVES, do we? Studies show we don't. In fact, a lot of people, especially in countries that don't produce milk, are lactose intolerant and aren't deficient in anything. Milk overproduction leads to things like the U.S.'s famous Federal Cheese Reserve, in which the country spends inordinate amounts of money subsidizing dairy farmers with no benefit to the larger public. Not to mention other environmental concerns caused by the raising of livestock.

Oh, that's not what Wonder Woman's demonstration is about? It's about a villain taking over the industry and price-gouging consumers? Well, that's not nice either.
