    Ages like milk…

    Drink a full glass of milk at every meal. Otherwise, your bones will turn to pudding and you’ll get kidnapped at the mall because you’ll be too soft to put up a fight. Or whatever scare scenarios Big Milk pushed in the US in the 80s and 90s.

    Now everyone’s drinking nut and oat milk because of health reasons and also drinking the milk of another mammal is kinda weird.

      Because drinking “milk” from nuts and oats isn’t weird?

      People have been drinking animal milk for thousands of years so the weird ones are those pretending some heavily processed industry process isn’t weird.

        “Milk” from nuts and oats is just a word. Call it oat juice, oat extract, make up a new word and call it oat zligbab. The actual thing being drunk is not far from the realm of things we already drink and eat. Getting hung up on it being called “milk” is a superficial and disingenuous argument against it.

        If you want to compare the extremes of industrialized processes, are you familiar with commercial dairy farming?
