“Consumption of milk per capita has gone down every year over the last 30 years,” says Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. “Actually, it’s gone down by more than 20 per cent since 2015.”
While bagged milk is often cited as a unique Canadianism, it’s actually not sold west of Ontario. Those who prefer it, however, say it’s more cost efficient and some even believe it tastes better.
They’re pretty clearly saying that nut milks are watery and taste nothing like dairy milk. Coconut milk would be closer to the creaminess of dairy milk at least, but it’s expensive and might require heating first for those of us with sensitive stomachs. It’d also have to be grown ethically, for those who actually care about human labour and environmental impacts.
I’m sorry that the options in your country are so bad, maybe one day you get some good brands around. If you’re talking about ethics you shouldn’t even be considering dairy. But hey, you’re probably a better gymnast than I am when it comes to environmental impacts :)
Because fuck being an empathetic human and actually connecting with people as equals, right? Keep on winning the entire Internet over with that unimpeachable charm and welcoming approach.
Ah yes, those who speak up for others have no empathy at all. Maybe think about your own actions first.
