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)?

- 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.
- hooverd 4y agoSorry, it's too late for you. That single glass of soy milk had enough estrogen to feminize an entire city block. Also, there's non sweetened soy milk like there's non sweetened dairy milk.
- burnished 4y agoThat’s because you probably got the one labeled ‘vanilla’ that yes is effectively a milkshake. Now that I think about it, it’s pretty weird. We don’t have ‘white chocolate milk’ right next to regular with only very subtle marking differences. Hell, even slight fat content differences tend to be prominently labeled in the form of color coding.
- officeplant 4y agoHave you considered buying the non-sweetened stuff before going on a tirade against alternative plant milks? You've basically bought the SunnyD of soymilk.
