I don't have an answer for the cost of life, but I have heard many times that milk and cheese is overly abundant in the USA.

I do agree that it should be much cheaper to use cellulose/plant composite for these things. The problem is sealing it.

Yes, dairy is cheap in the US, only due to government subsidy.
