Maybe youre delusional?
Ripple for instance is made of peas and has better nutrition than milk (similar protein, lower in fat/calories/carbs, same vitamins). They even make a half/half version you can use in place of cream in recipes.
Oat milk tastes better and comes the closest to the real thing.
Then on the horizon is actual lab grown dairy, identical to dairy (but also better nutrition, no lactose) https://perfectdayfoods.com/ available now in stores in ice creams.
nope many great alternatives exist now too

Nobody is saying non-dairy is useless or worse in terms of nutrition, we're talking about whether it tastes like cow milk or not.
Except they don't. Not even close.
I like oat milk, and wish it were cheaper around me, but let's not pretend they taste the same.
How can people like oat milk? Shit is fucking gross. It's like if you made a bowl oatmeal and put 20x the needed water, and then you just drink that stank ass diluted oat water. And it's stupidly expensive, it's just insanity.
Almond milk is pretty good, but it's awful for coffee. Soy milk is alright though.
I would like to know where you ger groceries but you are still wrong, that salad won't feed a person the same way meat would, if you want to eat healthy you need to add other things to that meal while many Americans will eat the stake with some potatoes and decide the salad is not worth it because it doesn't provide enough calories.A head of romaine lettuce (which is about 1 1/2 lbs) is $1.79. That's enough for 8 salads. Tomatoes are $1.29 a pound and you need a quarter of that at most. I can get an entire jar of green olives for $3.29 that comes with well over a 100 of them and you only need 4-6 for a salad. The cost of the dressing is insignificant, even when you take into account it has extra virgin olive oil. Similarly the amount of parmesan cheese used adds up to little.
Yes, you can easily make a salad for a $1. I know this because I do it all the time. And these are recommended portion sizes. But let's pretend you were somehow able to eat an entire head of lettuce and a pound of tomatoes - you're still talking ~$3 for 2 1/2 pounds of food.
Fred Meyer is where I buy produce. And you know what? I can go another mile farther and get it at Sprouts for even less.I would like to know where you ger groceries but you are still wrong, that salad won't feed a person the same way meat would, if you want to eat healthy you need to add other things to that meal while many Americans will eat the stake with some potatoes and decide the salad is not worth it because it doesn't provide enough calories.

There were people in the last couple pages who said something of that effect.Who is pretending or even saying they taste the same again? 99% of people in this thread that had something good to say about milk alternatives have said they taste good or better - which obviously doesn't equate to tasting the same.
I had no idea that existed, and yeah it must be astronomically expensiveMacadamia milk is luscious and perfect in cereal. A bit more expensive though.
I get one they sell at Whole Foods that's like 5 bucks a half gallon. Supposedly Aldi sells it too for much cheaper.I had no idea that existed, and yeah it must be astronomically expensive

Yup, I wholeheartedly agree on people resisting change, and honestly I don't even think any of the alternatives are all that bad to begin with.I think the major issue is people hate change, and the moment they try something else they go "Ew, that tastes bad."
When I first tried alternatives over a decade ago, I thought they were pretty underwhelming, but I grew up on regular milk so I only knew that taste. Now, I vastly prefer the alternatives, they are also healthier. I like unsweetened soy and almond milk (sucks almond is so hard on the environment). They taste great in my opinion. Sometimes you guys just need to try something new for a while, you'll get used to it.
Same goes for vegetable food alternatives.
Uhm, chill man.The only one who said something "to that effect" I have seen is bye a few posts ago and he says they come "close enough" which is, of course, up to opinion. No one has said they taste the same in this thread and really - only some heavy misinterpretation of something someone said in this thread could lead to that conclusion.
Before you write off oat milk you need to stop grabbing whatever your grocery store has off the shelf and go find this brand specifically:
Specifically "full fat." This is it. This is the milk killer. Everything else is a watery mess. - an ex-milk connoisseur
I tried almond milk for the first time a couple months ago and I can barely distinguish it from regular milk, so I just started buying that from now on. I'm lactose intolerant so it has helped a lot
Uhm, chill man.
Sorry for quoting you guys:

These are from the last two pages, that I was reading. And that's not even counting ambiguous posts just saying Oat milk is the best (not clarifying what that means).
It was a simple comment. Idk why you're taking issue with me specifically.
Maybe it's because you're being really aggressive?And not sure why you are thinking I take issue with you specifically - this is a forum, I made a thread and I naturally respond to some that post in said thread. Nothing more to it. I even responded to two people that said the same thing as you but unfortunately got no response.
Yeah, they are their own unique tastes. It's not like everything needs to be a perfect 1:1 replacement of tastes we enjoy. Branch out and enjoy new things! Plus, it's good for yourself, and the environment.Yup, I wholeheartedly agree on people resisting change, and honestly I don't even think any of the alternatives are all that bad to begin with.

You took normal english expressions like "let's not pretend", "barely tell the difference" and made extremely literal statements out of them to support your argument.
Like I'm done with this interaction, but just wanted to let you know, that you're coming off real strong.
