Real milk contains mammal estrogen instead of just the plant kind.

Real milk is also the product of vast, unsustainable torture complexes.

I don't understand why you'd drink a soy caffè latte, because I don't understand why you'd drink a caffè latte, because I don't understand why you'd drink any type of coffee.

I’m allergic to milk. Trying to explain that to people sometimes goes like this:

“I’m allergic to milk.”

“You mean you’re lactose intolerant?”

“No, I’m allergic to milk. I can digest it just fine.”

“What do you mean?”

“Milk. I’m allergic to it.”

“What happens when you drink it?”

“My throat starts to swell up and get itchy. It’s hard to breathe for a while.”

“OOOOOH. You’re allergic to milk.”

“Yeah.”

An acquaintance of mine will literally die from anaphylactic shock if he ingests anything with even traces if milk...think severe peanut allergy, but for milk. It's not the lactose, it's some protein in it or something, and fucking everything contains traces of milk.

God damn, pour one out for your friend, that's an incredibly rough allergy. Hopefully they have some reliably milk-free food sources.

EDIT: specifically pour out the glass of milk for your friend they might accidently drink it.

That's why I order with almond milk because nut juice is more manly.

I like oat milk because it's like goat milk but with less G.

Do these people also only eat plain boiled rice for fear of soy sauce?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The rice in general might be too exotic for them

"One hot bean juice with cold bean juice, please."

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

"And can I get that with some of the sweet bean juice, please?"

Completely wild to shit on soy milk in coffee.

Like, if you're trying to be toxic about your coffee, how do you even justify diluting the coffee with milk in the first place? Can't even do toxicity properly, get real

Since plant based milks are just basically water with the plant stuff in it, can't we make coffee milk and put that in our coffee as a milk alternative?

My sibling in Christ, that's just coffee

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

No, coffee is burnt coffee milk. We need actual raw coffee milk.

[–] prettybunnys 8 points 1 day ago

Look if somehow I can get a latte made with coffee milk … I need this.

The boomer crusade against alternative milks is one of the weirder forms of toxic masculinity and smacks of subservience to and brainwashing by the milk lobby.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 day ago (3 children)

They tried to narrowly define that can be called milk. Thankfully it did not pass.

As a funny aside, this was my autocomplete suggestions when looking up this bill:

I would imagine there is a funny story behind this.

Here in Germany they did succeed with it. Oat milk has to be called something like "Hafer-Drink" (note the anglicism) (literally "oat drink").

the Dairy industry lobby is powerful.

[–] Kellenved 1 points 1 day ago

So many things boomers consider normal is just brainwashing from some lobby or other

I didn't realize I was lactose intolerant for the longest time. I just assumed everyone had some food that gave them the booboos and it was just the price of living. I thought intolerance was synonymous with allergy, and since it didn't kill me, I just assumed I didn't have it.

How I found out:

Me: I sure do love ice cream. Sucks that it makes me stomach hurt.

Friend: So you're lactose intolerant?

Me: Oh, no, no. Ice cream and milk have just always messed up my stomach.

Friend:

Me:

Friend: That's what lactose intolerance is.

A ton of adults legitimately don't know that most people develop some degree of lactose intolerance as they age. They think lactose intolerance is like a rare disorder rather than the norm for mammals. It feels like the kind of thing they should have taught us in health class.

"Around your mid 20s you should pay attention to if milk makes you fart a lot."

Same with my younger brother. He once told me that he has diarrhea least one time a day. He tought that this is a completely normal thing and is not willing to change anything. He would rather shit his pants than give up milk.

I learned that we should not tolerate intolerance!

Oat milk is superior than any other option for coffee drinks and I will die on this hill
