Almonds Are Out. Dairy Is a Disaster. So What Milk Should We Drink?
The Guardian via Pocket Worthy {Yahoo} ^ | May 30, 2020 | Annette McGivney The Guardian

A glass of dairy milk produces almost three times more greenhouse gas than any plant-based milk. But vegan options have drawbacks of their own.

For environmentally minded consumers, the news is hard to swallow: almond milk is not healthy for the planet and the popular milk substitute is especially hard on bees. Our recent investigation into the connection between California’s industrialized almond industry and a record 50bn commercial bee deaths created quite a buzz. The widely read story prompted one primary response from readers: “What should we be drinking instead?”

This is a thorny question, and food sustainability experts are reluctant to single out any one plant milk as best because all have pros and cons.

But we’re going to try.
. . . . . . . . . . .
“Drink what you want,” says Emery. “If you’re going with plant milk instead of animal milk, you’ve already addressed most of the environmental problems that your animal milk habit was causing.”

Adults don't need milk. Milk is for children.

However, there is some milk in things like cheese, whole-fat yogurt and butter. That is how grown-ups get their milk.

Cow milk? Goat milk?

I couldn’t care less about green house gases.

What I want to know is whether pasteurization kills coronavirus. And what is safe to drink.

Milk and bread are two of the foods that I don’t cook. Although I may start making my own bread soon.

We have been making our own kefir for decades. for 25 years from our own goats milk, the last 4 years with A2 cows milk. A short glass of kefir before bed keeps the gut in great shape.

Adults do not need milk-milk is for babies and small kids-I don’t like sweets, so no cookies, thank you-but nobody better try to stop me from having cheese and butter-as a side note-out here where I am, raw cow’s milk and also goat milk is available-goat milk is favored by moms whose kids have digestive issues...

These vegans don’t understand that most people think they are nuts-and we don’t care about cow farts...

Just about 100% of the time, these articles lose track of reality in the first sentence.

***What does emoticon !:^0 mean?***

Shocking! - I hope. Some weeks back I apparently revealed to many FReepers that - with Win 10 - you could enter an emoticon in your postings by hitting the 'Windows' key and the period key at the same time... much surprise and adulation.

Then I discovered many were still operating with Win 7 and could not display emoticons. So I have regressed to the text-type emoticons. I am a pushover. 😇

Organic grass fed cow milk, or fresh Nubian goat milk with chocolate cake or cookies. It’s a Godly thing.

Nothing like a warm chocolate chip cookie or slice of chocolate cake or brownie accompanied by a nice tall glass of cold whole milk

Sure there is: All of the above at the same time. Put the Cake on top of the Chocolate Chip Cookie and then top it off with the Brownie then hide the mountain with Real Whipped Cream, drizzle Carmel Sauce to finish it off.😷🇺🇸

“What I want to know is whether pasteurization kills coronavirus.”

Only if the cow has been wearing a mask.
