    Soy milk sucks, it’s probably the worst milk…

    Banana milk is the best, followed by: macadamia, coconut, cashew, oat, rice, almond, flax, hemp, and then soy in last place.

      Wtf are you saying? Soy milk is hard to beat nutritionally speaking, and it’s not nearly as environmentally problematic as something like almond milk.

        People harp on the environmental problem with almond milk, but it literally uses half the water of dairy milk so until every stops drinking dairy, I’ll keep using Blue Diamond for my cereal.

          One problem with almonds is that they can’t grow just anywhere.

          It’s often grown in regions where water is already an issue, with pretty significant irrigation, with significant environmental consequences.

          Meanwhile, it is possible to raise cows in a humid climate where water isn’t a major issue. Though it’s also totally possible to feed them alfalfa grown with water from the Colorado River, which is way way worse than anything else.

          I’m not saying there aren’t any problems with cow milk at all. There absolutely are, and overall I’m pretty sure it’s worse than any other option.

          But personally, especially considering I like the taste of the vast majority of dairy alternatives anyway, getting one with a lower environmental impact compared to other alternatives is a factor in my decision.

      What are you basing any of this on? Sounds like simple opinion and no health facts.

        “X sucks” is typically an opinion, yes. I assume this one’s about taste
