Comment on Are Dairy Robots the Secret to Happier Cows and More Efficient Farms?
NoisyFlake@lemm.ee 3 weeks agoFor real, this has nothing to do with animal welfare. The cows still get forcefully impregnated every so often and have their calves taken away, just so you can drink their milk. Supermarkets are full of tasty plant milk variants, yet most people still see the need to let cows suffer instead.

Oat is GOAT
(The acronym, not the animal)

I am 100% not a vegan. I eat meat and cheese and eggs and pretty much all animal products. So hear me when I say I regularly grab oat milk when I’m at the store.
It is better than regular milk.

I evaluate basically all my food with what I call “hotdog math”. my wife hates it. my local gas station sells hotdogs at 2/$1. the free toppings can push the calories count near 550, but I know nothing comes close, so I round down to 500. milk beats oatmilk on hotdog math, and carries a wider diversity of nutrients, to boot.

Cow milk is usually only cheaper because of subsidies, otherwise it would be much more expensive.

Your wife is right to hate it. It’s rather shallow and narrow-minded.
That aside, if calories-to-price is your metric, are you growing your own food?

My milk ranking:
Almond < Dairy < Soy < Oat
I rarely drink any milk at all, but when I do, it’s gotta be oat.
(Also not a vegan, but that doesn’t have anything to do with my taste here)
