I’ve started drinking milk alternative because I would get belly ache when drinking cold milk. And I saw the episode on kurzgesagt about milk. Where they say it’s better for the environment.
In the end I’m still eating regular dary like cheese and yogurt.
Oat milk is good, but I can’t figure out how to make it foam up really nicely like cow’s milk when making a latte ): that’s about the only time I drink milk nowadays, so the lactaid is right next to the machine.
I also enjoy the occasional oatmilk latte but recently was reading something about how oats have all sorts of pesticides that can make their way into the milk
As compared to onions, garlic, potatoes, bread, cereals, or fruit? I’d put adding 4 oz of oatmilk pretty low on our pesticide exposure list.
Shoot, you should look up how American garlic’s been produced for the past few decades. It’s really disturbing and likely introducing pharmaceuticals back into human foods.

Oat milk is superior than any other option for coffee drinks and I will die on this hill
They recently switched to oat milk in our office and it’s just nasty to me. I tried to like it but no I just can’t do it.
It depends on the brands I guess. but if you drink it like that and with coffee, its not amazing.
But mixed with cereals, cocoa it’s really good.
There a brand in France that makes a vegetal milk with, macadamia, hazelnut, and almond. It’s truly delicious.

I get that, some brands don’t taste good at all. Weirdly enough, I really like the great value stuff. Planet oat or whatever’s decent too
Well, at least ecologically, because oat grows everywhere. Btw, coffee has a really bad footprint too.

Get an “extra creamy” oat milk. Some brands even make a barista blend. The extra fat helps to form a fine and stable foam
Unfortunately I can’t check that, because oats cause my intestines to go postal
Oof. Sorry to hear

Is there an agricultural product that you eat that does not contain pesticides in some quantity?
Probably not but something like oatmilk could be consumed daily which i guess is where the problem comes in

And dairy cows are shot up with antibiotics and hormones. Gotta pick your poison.
yeah thats true, best bet is to research the brands of oatmilk you get to see if they are better or worse
I don’t know if it’s the same outside Europe, but you could get certified organic
