Vermont State Beverage

Milk was designated the official state beverage of Vermont in 1983. Milk has been called a nearly perfect food - a source of protein, calcium, and several other important nutrients. Milk, cheese, ice cream, yogurt (public domain photo from USDA: Facts about Dairy Products: Kids Corner). See All Food & Agricultural Symbols - Food Holidays. Each dairy cow produces about 6.5 gallons of milk per day. Less than half of this milk is consumed as a beverage - the rest is used for butter, cheese, ice cream, milk powder and other processed products.
