“I’m sorry, I didn’t know your trigger was s*y milk, do you need a safe space to calm down before facing the big scary coffee shop again?”
A proper response to someone giving you shit about soy milk or almond milk or any other type.
Or anyone who parrots Republicans and their AnTi-wOkEnEsS lines.
I am triggered by almond milk!
Because I am allergic, which is why I get oat milk.
Its also really bad for the environment. almonds require a lot of water to grow and guess where people decided to grow them… in a damn desert.
On one hand, I agree. On the other hand, it tends to replace cow milk. Cow milk has quite a few ecological issues, even greater than those of almond milk.
Almond milk will get you sent to the bad place
Yup, it’s best to avoid Californian Almonds. Luckily there are brands like Alpro who commit to sourcing their Almonds from Spain and Italy instead
I am allergic to all of them :(
You can always be the one drinking black coffee and nobody will admit that they are mildly in awe of you
I am so sorry. That is more intense than my run of the mill nut and legume allergies.
Even oat? Ouch.
Pro tip: drink/eat anything with lactose, take a picture of the toilet bowl and show it to morons who say this.
Sometimes the alternative also just tastes better. I have coffees I prefer with oatmilk purely for that reason, no issues with standard dairy. Shit, I lived off chocolate Silk for like a year, still haven’t found a chocolate milk as good as their old recipe.
Same way I’ve had General Tsos tofu made with Soy-Vey that was better than a lot of the chicken I’ve had. I’d happily eat that again, and I’m normally not huge on tofu.
I love oat milk and so does my wife, but because she also likes it and it’s expensive she only lets me use it in oatmeal, which I think defeats the point. It’s really good in cereal too, but I don’t really eat cereal much.
Oat milk is the worst. https://youtu.be/oLjEG8Qu1Qw
Why would I listen to this one video? In the description, the sources section is literally blank (there is one listed, it’s just blank, like they forgot to put them in there). Not to mention that the vast majority of the examples are from one company (Oatly). I don’t even buy Oatly. Like, I’m watching the whole thing for information’s sake, but you’re positioning this video as an authority when it’s hardly comprehensive.
If something is sweet, it probably affects your glycemic index, that’s just how sugars work. I am aware of this when I eat oatmeal, when I eat a sandwich, when I eat an apple, when I drink a can of pop, when I eat a piece of cake, etc. There are things you can do to reduce this, but there’s no company in the world who will (or can) put out a processed product that is perfectly healthy; this is the entire point of the concept of moderation.
I make my food choices, not you. I don’t even have oat milk every day or even every week. Like I said, it’s an expensive indulgence.
Yikes that defensiveness is cringe. Are you so wannabe hipster you define oatmilk as part of your identity?
If you think oatmilk is an expensive indulgence you must live a very sad life.
So are you actually concerned about anything in that video or are you just anti-oat milk because they said you should be?
I’m defensive because you basically attacked me for a completely normal thing and a simple food preference, while ignoring anyone else. It feels personal and you’re being a dick.
If you think being broke and needing to budget is cringe, you’re just an elitist prick who thinks they’re a lot smarter than they are.
I miss the old Silk chocolate soy milk. Have you tried the Planet Oat chocolate oat milk? It’s my new chocolate milk drink of choice.
I have not, but I will keep an eye out for it!
Soy baby
