Almond cultivation needs a lot of water (4 liters for 1 almond) and is primarily (80% of global production) cultivated in California, you know, the state that's plagued by drought... Purely ecological, it's better to avoid almonds.

I love oat milk too — much better than soy or cow milk. Unfortunately Oatly is partly owned by a hedge fund that supports Trump, though, so please avoid them. It was a serious misstep on their part.

Because almond orchards hurt bee populations

Because Almonds require an incredible amount of water to cultivate and fresh water is an increasingly limited resource.

What the others said and also oat milk tastes better.

Almond farming also uses massive amounts of chemicals which is contributing to colony collapse in honey bees

Almonds use a lot of water to grow and tend to be bad for the environment. Also oat milk you can make yourself in like 2 minutes

my guess here would be that oats are a more renewable resource than almonds

Oat milk has a lower environmental impact than any other milk. The taste is super bland, like drinking very very thin oatmeal.

Just randomly, ASDA own brand oat milk is the most neutral and inoffensive alternative milk! Would definitely recommend a try. No, it's not the same, but it's pretty close for me!

It wouldn't take all that long to switch to black tea and it will have heaps more flavour. Maybe do it gradually?

I know you love tea and that people will be murdered if you don't get it to your taste, but is it really worth the pain and suffering cows go through to get you that milk? As a quick overview of the milk industry: mother cows are forcibly impregnated (if they were humans it'd be called rape), their babies are taken from them (if they were human it would kidnap), they are hooked up to a metal machine that sucks the milk from them and leaves their udders raw and sore, they eventually dry up and stop producing enough milk and so they are impregnated again. Their babies are either killed within 48 hours, are raised for veal, or raised to live the life their mother lives (if they are girls).

What kind of psycho puts milk in their tea??

Up to a million pus cells per teaspoon - and most people are lactose intolerant

Humans are the only animals that wear shoes

Humans are the only ones to do a lot of things.

My cats try and drink my milk whenever I have some, they've never been giving any but fiend for it none the less.

Ideal for baby calves which need to grow by about 600% in a year - full of growth hormone and as most cows are milked during pregnancy also full of pregnancy hormones.

Raw milk is NOT healthy.

I found hemp milk too bitter - may just have been the make though
