    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.

          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.
