There were huge protests by dairy farmers. But, our government doesn't give two shits. TPP is getting pushed down everyone's throat.

Oh no. Dairies now have to actually compete in business. How unfair

I think the bigger complaint is that the competitor doing it cheapest is probably stuffing their cows full of hormones and antibiotics, which can affect product quality. In the race to the bottom that global commodity competition becomes, such corners are cut to save pennies on the pound.
