Protests have a new, healthy for you, weapon.
As thousands of angry dairy farmers descended on Brussels, they attacked the European Union's Parliament building, and it's police guards, by spraying milk at them.
The farmers, who came in their hundreds of tractors, from all over Europe, are angry that milk prices have fallen.
They're demanding that the EU raise dairy prices by at least twenty-five percent.
Farmers say that unless it is raised, many of them will go out of business, as they aren't able to make up their costs.
Among their other demands was an increase in EU subsidies for farmers.
Already nearly half of the EU's budget goes to subsidizing farmers, throughout Europe.
