Yet another one of the many farmer protests around the world

If you like those rich and whole Belgium chocolates, this doesn't look good for ya.  It seems on the other side of the globe, they are having problems paying their farmers' due as well.  The government is selling milk produced by farmers for much less than what it cost than farmers to produce it.  The world average on the price of milk has fallen 40% in the past couple years.
