# Cheese consumption jumps

> U.S. domestic cheese consumption posted its biggest two-year gain since 2000, reaching record per-capita levels, and butter demand also advanced. Fluid milk consumption has fallen for six straight years and is forecast to decline again in 2017. Strong high-fat product demand is helping lift milk prices even as total milk output hits records.
