Dean Foods' Profits Soar 72%

There's no need to cry over spilled milk over at Dean Foods. Second quarter profits rose 72%.

With that profit increases, milk shuld be flowing like champagne!

The nation's largest dairy company reported (pdf) second-quarter net income of $48.9 million compared with $28.4 million a year earlier. Sales rose 9% to $3.1 billion due to higher milk and dairy prices.

Although we don't deny any company its just profits, we find yet another leading member of the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) with record-breaking profits.

But all the while, the leaders of the GMA blame higher food prices on the backs of American farmers and supporters of biofuels.

Now THAT"S something to cry about.
