Tl;dr: good
- candiddevmike 4y agoThe conflict of interest stuff at the bottom is interesting, especially with the rise of non-dairy milk alternatives surging in popularity. I personally think dairy milk production is abhorrent, worse than meat production even, and hope we as a society can move past it.
- eloff 4y agoI think dairy in a lab would probably beat meat in a lab to market. It seems like a simpler problem. I think we will almost certainly move beyond both in the next thousand years, maybe even the next hundred. You’ll get your wish.
- jvanderbot 4y agoAs has previously been pointed out, I don't think Toyota would pay for a study in dairy product healthiness. But the bit about non dairy milk seems crowbarred in since they didn't really compare.
- Gordonjcp 4y agoI guess you live in the US? Maybe you could just change your farming practices to be more like the rest of the world.

- yesenadam 4y ago> dairy milk production is abhorrent, worse than meat production even What makes you say this? (I'm genuinely curious.)
- jamincan 4y agoI don't know that I'd call it abhorrent - dairy cows in Ontario seem to have relatively decent conditions compared to pigs and chickens, for example. The thing that makes me reserved about it is the very high water and energy cost per calorie of milk. While I'm okay with oat milk in my coffee, though, other dairy substitutions don't work nearly as well in my experience.
- candiddevmike 4y agoAnimals bred for meat production are mostly left alone, dairy cows are constantly impregnated and typically have their young taken from them.
- morninglight 4y ago> > the rise of non-dairy milk alternatives surging in popularity. > I purchased a half gallon of "Soy MilK" out of curiosity and now I understand the popularity. It tasted like a milkshake and seemed to have about the same sugar content. This product was designed for addiction. There is no way that I would ever give this to my kids.
- pell 4y agoThere are tons of milk alternatives many of which do not have any added sugar or amounts far far below a milkshake.
- reducesuffering 4y agoYes, there are, but isn't it sad that when people forgo dairy for purported health reasons, most of the time they switch to the standard alternatives that are heaps of cane sugar (Silk soy/almond) and/or vegetable oil (Oatly / oat milk)?
- officeplant 4y ago>most of the time they switch to the standard alternatives that are heaps of cane sugar (Silk soy/almond) and vegetable oil (Oatly / oat milk)? If they lack reading comprehension sure. It isn't difficult to compare nutrition labels and get something healthy.
- reducesuffering 4y agoIt's not difficult, but they're still the most popular. Everyone drinks the standard vegetable oil Oatly. It's like a liquid oatmeal cookie.
- officeplant 4y agoI've never heard of Oatly, but then again I just sorta grab whatever unsweetened almond milk is on sale when I'm in the rare mood for milk. Looking up Oatly makes me feel like I live under a rock for not recognizing it.
