The US government heavily subsidizes dairy. They also subsidize soy, but it’s $20B for dairy and $4B for soybeans. The price of milk is below production costs.
I would imagine it might be due to a combination of low demand and having to continually restock due to FDA standards. Or it could just be taking advantage of people wanting an alternative.
My favorite thing is being charged extra for soy milk despite it being way less resource intensive and having a similar nutritional profile.
