    what caused any of those declines? could those events happen in the milk market? were any of those markets as ancient as milk? how else might they differ?

      The events were that demand decreased. Yes, demand could decrease in the milk market. Whether or not it will is a separate question. They are different in that the market decreased in the former and not the latter.

        demand decreased

        how do you suppose we could decrease demand? do you have some method to accomplish this?

        edit:what is the metric by which you gauge demand? price? volume sold? volume produced? futures markets? I just don’t think this is a well formulated test. but if you come up with one, please let me know.
