> Second, if people are so grossed out by milk, why do they want to drink surrogates of it?! I can't explain it, but milk is just gross to me. I eat almost every other dairy product (okay, I'm not a fan of something too fermented, like kefir, ayran and such), but plain milk is psychologically repulsive. Maybe it's because my grandma had a cow when I was a child, and seeing milk come out of a cow was disgusting. Processed dairy products are kind of too far removed from a cow in my mind, so they're okay. Maybe it's the smell of country milk. I don't like homemade country cheeses because of the smell as well. For this reason I love oatly, and almond and coconut milks. Soy milk is fine too. I can also dring flavored milks or coffee with milk (although I prefer it black). I've only met one other person like this in my life, and it felt very validating that I'm not alone in this.
