Almond Milk Is Even More Evil Than You Thought

So rent your bees out to other agricultural concerns. And I had no idea almonds had nipples.

How about trying cows mile. It’s sustainable, the same cow can be used over and over. They produce more cows, leather, beef, green tripe for your dogs, all kinds of stuff.

I admit it’s all I drink for “milk”. I need to search for alternatives I guess.

“The bees....are being.....disrespected.”

Maybe we could give them medals or something.

I didn’t read anything about “evil” except in the headline. I guess liberals get to define their own brand of morality.

If 100% of the people who read this would stop drinking almond milk . . . it would make no difference at all. I’m all for taking measures such as the ones described in the article to help the bees, but demonizing almond milk and those who drink it won’t effect a change, just like demonizing beef and the use of paper haven’t had an impact on those industries.

“Almond milk” just sounds so much nicer than “nut juice.”

[FranklinsTower]

Article sponsored by the wheat industry....have to put competion down.

“The bees in the almond groves are being exploited and disrespected. They are in severe decline because our human relationship to them has become so destructive.”

Wasn't this a "B" movie? Calling Barry B. Benson...

Read the same the other day in The Guardian. No more am for me.

Almond milk is much better for diabetics. Low to zero carbs and sugar. That’s why I drink it.

[HombreSecreto]

Those almond growers better be careful or they’ll get a visit from the SNL Killer Bees.

[Honest Nigerian]

Demise of The Kneeling Bees - they has been seriously disrespected.

[canuck_conservative]

Almonds use almost 1/4 of the entire US bee supply ... think of all the other flowering crops that need bees too

And those other crops contribute a lot more to the economy than almonds do

Unsweetened chocolate almond milk is 40 calories. Add some splenda and you have a really good chocolate milk that is very low in calories.

Saw that and immediately looked up to see if this was the Babylon Bee. Nope.

[null and void]

I had to check to verify this wasn’t from the Babylon Bee...

[Swordmaker]

Say what? Are the beepers shooting the bees who a slacking off? Are they over harvesting the almond honey, thus starving the bees of their honey? How is pollinating almond trees in orchards related to killing hives of bees who would naturally be pollinating almond trees anyway? It’s in the bees’ interest to visit the blossoms to collect the nectar the trees produce to attract the various insects to spread their pollen to reproduce. The bees use it to feed themselves and their fellow hive mates. So, exactly how is doing this KILLING THEM?

This is so stupid it hurts.
