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 Californias 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.

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.
