Oat milk also tastes better and doesn’t send me sprinting to the bathroom
There is lactase. If you lack the Enzyme you can take it in pill form and drink milk without issue.
I actually like the taste of oat milk better!
Oh so the community name is literal.
My bad, enjoy your circlejerk.
I mean, I was considering posting it in the regular memes community, because I do genuinely find it humorous that humanity scaled up cow milk production, when oat milk production is just significantly simpler, to the best of my knowledge.
But I didn’t want to tone down the ridiculousness of some of the steps involved in industrial cow milk production, because that’s kind of the point of the meme format. Non-vegans would likely be so pre-occupied with that, that they’d miss the joke, which is why I decided to post it here instead.
If you want to argue against some of the points, do feel free. But please do understand that this is a shitty meme. I can’t fit a whole dissertation into it, to cover each and every nuance.
What if I like cow milk?
i dont want that oat milk of that’s how you make it.
amylase is cheap.
Yeah, the top-half is simplifying a bit, because well, it is a meme, but apparently, there’s also just multiple ways to do it.
Some companies do mix oat, water, amylase, oil, sugar and whatnot.
Whereas the oat milk I have at home, genuinely just lists as ingredients: water, oat, salt.
In the descriptive text, they do tell, though, that they ferment the oats.i assure you, every oat milk you have purchased has used enzymes to convert the starches to sugars. otherwise it would taste like paper.
actually i made it at home once with oats and water and it tasted fine. maybe you just have a super American palate?
chugging starch water because it’s not “sugar” is a baffling take.
My oat milk gymnastics:
- Shamefully ask for oat milk
- Nobody cares but I feel weak for being unable to handle standard milk any more
- Why can’t I have soy? It tastes bad but it’s more common
- Wonder if the people behind me are judging me for asking for long winded flat white
- Wonder if I’m holding up other people’s orders because the barista has to clean out the milk jug to clean it between milk and oat juice
- taste it and then go “I guess it’s not so bad”
- small relief knowing it probably can’t be off unlike the few times I’ve had sour milk
- coffee still makes me go to the bathroom, just less violently
I mean, that sounds like you’re lactose-intolerant, so I definitely wouldn’t feel bad about it.
