      Just look at it this way:

      there are/were a lot of nomadic tribes in human history. All of them wanted to eat, or at least have a stable and significant source of calories. Most of them lived in semi-fertile land though, which was not fertile enough for wheat/corn. So what they did was take a goat, let it eat all of the grass/flowers that naturally grew, and it produced milk for the humans. This way, both humans and the goat could live.

        How is that relevant to modern age? By that logic nothing is ick and everything is justifiable cause at some point it was ok with our ancestors 🥱

      Oat milk tastes way better without the whole torturing animals stuff and it isn’t even that much more expensive. I really don’t understand why people still drink cow milk.

        As someone who generally enjoys drinking milk (I almost exclusively drink water but when I do indulge in other drinks its almost always a nice glass of milk, or a pint of milk for the road from the convenience store) I’ve tried oat milk and it tasted good, but just seemed to be missing some body. It tasted more like something I should mix into something else than drink on its own
