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.
But were going to try.

Drink what you want, says Emery. If youre going with plant milk instead of animal milk, youve already addressed most of the environmental problems that your animal milk habit was causing.

Sorry but a 400 pound cow is a really skinny cow, about to fall over dead in fact.
And calves only nurse for the first six months and they start eating hay around their second month because the milk is not enough to keep them fed. Following your logic you had better avoid all vegetables and grains as well.
I use real cream in my coffee.

Why mess up a good cup of Joe with cream and sugar?
Pasteurization kills everything.
So, chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug.
Almond trees are also non-native.
Where are the teets on an almond?
TOFU milk.
Fresh, wholesome milk:
Drink water, eat meat. Proper human diet. Thank you, Dr. Ken Berry.
Drink whatever milk you choose.
Im downing cheesecake and a cup of coffee with dairy half and half as I type.

I love half & half, wish it didn’t cost $4.00 per half gallon.
I hear ya!
Boy those Cowbellas stores have really fancied up their image.

For most of my life, I have drunk strong black coffee. I liked it to be almost espresso intensity. However, a couple of years ago, I had a couple of attacks of nausea which caused me to throw up. Before the first attack, I had drunk a strong cup of coffee that morning. I now seem to associate the bitter acidic taste of coffee with nausea. I stopped drinking it for awhile and gradually re-introduced it with cream to cut the bitter acidity.
I still make it strong in order to taste the coffee with the cream, and I never use sugar. I use only real heavy whipping cream and none of those flavored fake creamers.
Try skim. Its a light and lovely version. Wont put an ounce on you.

Historically, skimmed milk was used for fattening pigs, and was recommended as “not only the very best supplement for growing pigs, but is of almost equal value for fattening purposes”

Not arguing with you friend, I’m conservative and firmly believe that folks should do whatever suits them (within the law). I’d drink half & half all the time if it didn’t cost $4.00 per half gallon.
Personally, I find skim milk to be udderly tasteless.
Not exactly half and half but I have found whole milk which has been micro filtered to be a reasonable facsimile to light cream at least. Cheaper for sure.
But I like the pig!
LOL !!! Thank You!!!
