Sure I like cheese as much as the next person but its hardly critical to food security.
If you are struggling to find staff, then answer this: Why would I want to work for you?

If milk disappears. You will wake up to us old tea drinking zombies trying to eat brains.
Just a warning.

Sure alternatives are less popular but if cows milk goes up in price then it makes alternatives more appealing.
I don’t see running out being a likely risk tbh.

Agreed. Running out wise.
But the taste of the alternatives is simply not milk. Many find alternatives unpleasent. So their will always be a demand.
But yeah that demand is currently artificially high due to low pricing by supermarkets/delivery competition.
The whole thing is making things hard for dairy farms. Not just staffing that is more to do with the pricing.
But the whole supermarkets avoiding uK providers for cheese etc.
