It even explicitly says that younger people are consuming cheese at similar rates. How the hell did this ever become news?

Enjoy the cringe :D

    does america have enormous dairy subsidies like they do here?

    my bougie nut milk is wildly more expensive than cow milk almost entirely because of subsidies

    edit: for context, cow milk is 68p per litre, dairy free milk starts at £2 per litre and the cheapest one tastes grim

      In the 80s the USA had so much surplus cheese that Reagan just gave all of it away. Also that Dominos "We used to suck, but we're good now" campaign was subsidized by the American Dairy Association.

      I haven't bought cow's milk in a while, except for stealing a little of that ultra-filtered milk from the animal abuse company to try out a weird recipe. I guess that stuff is pretty close to lactose free milk. But at least around the places I've been, the cheapest non-dairy milks are usually almondmilks at $1/L if buying a 2L carton (which I still don't buy because someone told me the water use for it in CA is absurd and also the almond industry lobbying vis-a-vis Iran). I think they taste fine.

      Do they have like.... Higher end ones in UK? There's a couple I've seen that are like 11g of fat per cup (240mL) that are like $4-5/L. Tried the cashewmilk version of that kind, wasn't a fan really.

      People are milking all kinds of shit now, I actually rotate between a couple... Flax, hemp, cashew, macadamia, pistachio, pea, rice, hazelnut, walnut... I haven't tried coconut or bananamilk, or sunflower seed.

        almond milk here is slightly cheaper than £2, at £1.95

        i don't know if they're higher end tbh, having not tried the american ones
