Sarah Taber covers this very well on her Twitter (even though she has a particular anti-dairy ax to grind)

There is more than one twitter account that comes up when you search for that name. I assume you mean this one (whom I happen to be following already and didn't realize it):

From what I understand we probably all should.

Mark Shepard also complains from time to time that dairy supply is outstripping demand to the point where farmers can't make money off of it. That's dumb in it's own right but if you consider the ecological footprint, then we have a problem.
