:There is less of it produced. Depending on the cow breed, age, period, diet, and more, raw milk typically consists of about 3.5%-4% of cream, with the rest being what we know as "skim milk" (what is left after the cream is skimmed of the top). Skim milk (which used to be considered almost worthless, and fed to animals of used in lower-quality cooking) is now sold as a health food, as are 1% fat and 2% fat milks. Even "Whole milk" has some cream removed, bringing it down to 3.25% cream. However, there is only so much cream they can take out of the standard milk supply. Cream is also needed for other dairy products, such as cheeses and butter. Basically, it goes back to supply and demand. There is a somewhat limited supply, and great deal of demand. Besides, cream is considered the best part, so they know they can charge people more for the best milk product. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 23:55, 1 April 2019 (EDT)
