Ages like milk...
Drink a full glass of milk at every meal. Otherwise, your bones will turn to pudding and you'll get kidnapped at the mall because you'll be too soft to put up a fight. Or whatever scare scenarios Big Milk pushed in the US in the 80s and 90s.
Now everyone's drinking nut and oat milk because of health reasons and also drinking the milk of another mammal is kinda weird.
Because drinking "milk" from nuts and oats isn't weird?
People have been drinking animal milk for thousands of years so the weird ones are those pretending some heavily processed industry process isn't weird.
it's water pressed through oats/nuts to add a little flavor, not from a nut teet.
Then do not compare that to milk. First guy used the comparison.
Damn, guess we all have to stop calling it peanut butter then 🙄
I unironically agree.
It's called oat milk because it's a nut-based beverage deliberately designed to mimic many of the properties and uses of actual cow's milk. It's not like oat milk is literally just juice pressed from oats. There are a whole series of steps, added ingredients, and chemical processes meant to make the resulting product as interchangeable for cow's milk as possible.
It's used in the same way for the same recipes. Yes, production-wise it doesn't have much to do with animal milk, but culinarily it's similar. Do you feel as strongly about the fact the "vegetables" as a grouping doesn't make any biological or production sense either?
I mean, with advanced enough genetic engineering, we might be able to make nut teets a thing...
heavily processed
Always great to put that into arguments. It doesn't really mean anything but it sounds dubious.
Making things requires a process‽ Can't explain that!
"Milk" from nuts and oats is just a word. Call it oat juice, oat extract, make up a new word and call it oat zligbab. The actual thing being drunk is not far from the realm of things we already drink and eat. Getting hung up on it being called "milk" is a superficial and disingenuous argument against it.
If you want to compare the extremes of industrialized processes, are you familiar with commercial dairy farming?
Biologically it's extremely weird to drink another animals milk. No other mammal does that.
No other animal does what we're doing here either. Weird isn't necessarily bad
Didn't say it was
I mean soy milk has been around since the 14th century.
Processing and industrialization is something that's happened to most things in our food chain, including actual milk.
