Many people are lactose intolerant [1] and rely on milk that is not from a cow. The marketing behind it may be offsetting to some, as it is not directly aimed at lactose intolerant people, but calling it a fad is a bit too early to tell I think.
There's a major shift of consumer preference in the 21st century, mainly towards healthy and individualised choices, which for a single consumer is great. Maybe like camel milk - I've never tried it, but why not?

- GordonS 8y agoMy daughter is lactose intolerant, and drinks cow's milk just fine - the trick is that it's had lactase added, an enzyme that converts the lactose into, from memory, galactose and some other sugar. Interestingly, lactase drops are also used when breastfeeding babies that have trouble with lactose (it can give them colic). Nut-based milks are actually quite convincing, good even, but soy and oat milk... wow, don't know how anyone can drink those!
