"Consumption of milk per capita has gone down every year over the last 30 years," says Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. "Actually, it's gone down by more than 20 per cent since 2015."

While bagged milk is often cited as a unique Canadianism, it's actually not sold west of Ontario. Those who prefer it, however, say it's more cost efficient and some even believe it tastes better.

Isn't milk kinda useless for humans after they stop being toddlers?

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Do you eat cereal with water?

[–] Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, cereal with yogurt is the norm where I live, if we decide to have cereal

And yogurt is made from??? ... Milk

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Sounds delightful.

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Soy milk exist. Almond milk. Rice milk.

[–] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ugh, might as well be water or apple juice then

[–] UckyBon@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So would you say you still drink mammal's milk because your taste buds are a bit underdeveloped? I mean, if you can't even tell nut and grain milk from apple juice. Sure some good stuff in milk that helps your brain 🧠 huh?

They're pretty clearly saying that nut milks are watery and taste nothing like dairy milk. Coconut milk would be closer to the creaminess of dairy milk at least, but it's expensive and might require heating first for those of us with sensitive stomachs. It'd also have to be grown ethically, for those who actually care about human labour and environmental impacts.

I'm sorry that the options in your country are so bad, maybe one day you get some good brands around. If you're talking about ethics you shouldn't even be considering dairy. But hey, you're probably a better gymnast than I am when it comes to environmental impacts :)

[–] LostWon@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because fuck being an empathetic human and actually connecting with people as equals, right? Keep on winning the entire Internet over with that unimpeachable charm and welcoming approach.

[–] UckyBon@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, those who speak up for others have no empathy at all. Maybe think about your own actions first.

Do you eat cereal

no

[–] SparrowRanjitScaur@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Oh ya, totally useless. Humans don't derive any nutrition from milk. It just teleports through their body.

It's milk designed for cows, not for hoomans

[–] arin@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've yet to see adults drinking milk naturally meant for humans(aka breast milk) the dairy industry really got us good in brain washing

I don't think any food is naturally meant for us, but that doesn't stop us from eating it. Humans are pretty good at digesting organic compounds for sustenance.
