But nothing beats a swig of the proper stuff, straight from the bottle.
And what would the environmental impact be if everyone switched from moo milk to oat?
You were born in 1927?I guess the focus groups balked at the term 'white paste / sap' so they just use - most of them - milk.. which none of them are..
when I was born 2bn people on the planet, now +8bn.. yet it's milk & meat we have to cut back on :-D
I reckon Tesco own brand is my favourite after trying a quite a few different ones I use it to make my porridge every morning a bit weird I guess having double oatsFor brands I like Oatly or the M&S own brand. I'll have to try the two mentioned above by 1finny and dood.
Whichever brand you go with oat milk needs shaking vigorously before use otherwise it separates a bit and comes out too watery.
Not sure I follow - it's precisely because there are 8 billion+ people on the planet, that the overall effect of so many of them eating animal products is having such a massive cumulative impact.when I was born 2bn people on the planet, now +8bn.. yet it's milk & meat we have to cut back on
My source was off by 1bn.. though.. it is the number of humans eating the animals, drinking the milk, making cars, causing pollution that is the real cause & that is the link to follow: too many people.Not sure I follow - it's precisely because there are 8 billion+ people on the planet, that the overall effect of so many of them eating animal products is having such a massive cumulative impact.
As the Oxford University analysis I mentioned earlier concluded, the biggest impact on the environment that an individual can make, is to avoid meat and dairy.

take the people out of the equation & especially the growth.. & the world is in balance, we are the parasite.

Not really, oat milk in lidl is on par with fresh milkMore expensive though, which is an issue these days.
but Califia Farms Barista is the best I've tasted.

Being vegan can still increase C02 emissions.FWIW, the most comprehensive analysis of food production carried out to date, done by Oxford University in 2018 showed that the single, biggest way a person can reduce their impact on the environment would be to stop eating meat and dairy.
Avoiding meat and dairy is ‘single biggest way’ to reduce your impact on Earth
Some vegan stuff has a terrible impact on the environment - Soya for example knackers the rainforests etc etc. Having said that the uk doesn't produce enough food for the country full stop so in relation to vegan food it isn't any more relevant to meat and dairy - the UK cant feed its self on any diet without imports of all foods. There certainly isn't enough local meat to feed us all and the carbon footprint from local meat is a lot higher than the carbon footprint from local veg. Good on you for living vegan, I try but it's bloody hard!Being vegan can still increase C02 emissions.
Where does the food come from & how was it produced? Frequently the answers are that carbon footprints are not reduced. Locally slaughtered and butchered meat can have a lower footprint than vegan food processed, transported and shipped from abroad.
The UK cant produce enough vegan food for the populace. The UK has to import. A large part of my vegan diet is imported.
Yes a vegan lifestyle is not necessarily as beneficial as it is frequently portaryed, its oversimplified. Vegan = Better. Frequently the meat alternatives are not more friendly to the enviroment.Some vegan stuff has a terrible impact on the environment - Soya for example knackers the rainforests etc etc. Having said that the uk doesn't produce enough food for the country full stop so in relation to vegan food it isn't any more relevant to meat and dairy - the UK cant feed its self on any diet without imports of all foods.
