Comment on Are Dairy Robots the Secret to Happier Cows and More Efficient Farms?

  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.

        I don’t know how this can be verified, nor does it matter at the point of sale

      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?

        if calories-to-price is your metric

        it’s a metric for food I buy, and anything less convenient that a gas station hot dog that costs now power calorie is a hard sell. I don’t live on has station hot dogs, but they are, in my opinion, a good standard for convenience food value.

        I also drink soylent, which is only like half as good as hotdogs, but the nutrient balance is incredible.

        my wife says my spreadsheets are how farmers feed cattle.

    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)
