Almonds Are Out. Dairy Is a Disaster. So What Milk Should We Drink?

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.

Unicorn milk! Drink Unicorn Milk.

Unicorns are Gaia friendly, and as an added benefit they also poop corn-syrup and sugar free Skittles that are even sweeter than the ones made by Mars-Wrigley.... and they also cure Corona Virus as an added benefit.

Well, yes - to climate change activists like Greta Thunberg; after all, the world is going to end in 11 years!

Sorry, I’m working on losing weight too. I eat in My Mind. I mostly just eat Dinner, the rest I give to Petunia. I’ve stopped the 2am ice cream raids, laying around eating Bon-Bons all day while watching TV.😷🇺🇸
