I must admit I actually use soya milk in my cereal as I simply prefer the taste......and I come from a dairy farm!

However, for tea nothing beats the real thing.

Isn't cows milk plant based?

I mentioned this on another thread today. R4 piece stating 1/3 of all milk sold to 25-45 year olds is plant based. Nick Robinson went over the impartiality line saying "but it's not really milk then is it" Top Man

Very biased report, throwing fairly random figures about in a less than clear way.

1 in 3 drink fake milk-is that once a day, once a month, once a year, once in their lifetime?

What matters is how many (if any) make a permanent switch. Independent figures suggest that the percentage of vegetarians/vegans is virtually unchanged since WW2


And, of course, no reference to the environmental impact of cows milk v almond or oat based products-because that doesn't fit the narrative.

Don't forget plant based sh i te is twice the price of milk so the percentage of total sales is skewed.

They are milking that fake news for all its worth.

I’ve never read such madness.
World’s getting madder by the minute.

I await "fad diets cost the NHS millions" or "could being a vegan reduce your house price" articles in eighteen months.

All the media seems to be now is menstrual cycles, blacks, gays, and farmer-hate.

Nothing and I mean nothing beats unpasteurized grass fed Jersey milk with a 5%+ fat!!!
None of that Holstein wash water used here!!!

The article references using a poll to gain it's conclusion.
If you stand by the artificial manufactured "milk" section to conduct a poll you will get the figures mentioned in the article.
If you conduct a poll in the right way you can get the results to fit your agenda.

Majority of my friends have switched to oat milk. Some London friends said there was actually a shortage a few months ago.
bit of both here. It’s a market that is going to stay but if people want plant based then At least as farmers we can grow oats as opposed to soya/almond etc thats come from the other side of the world.

 

[2wheels]

it's not milk!

 

[ajd132]

it's not milk!

Oat drink!

We used to have some soya milk here due to my wife’s “time of life” and the high oestrogen content of soya milk.
It’s about time some of these abnormally high hormone containing foods were named and shamed.

I tried some oat milk the other day.
Felt like a spy going behind enemy lines.
I pleased to report it was hideous.

I believe the consumption of dairy in the U.K. is still increasing? Perhaps we’re all just eating more of everything!?

Today's trivia, name a TV program where the lead actor drinks milk on a regular basis???

A team

Ideal world would be for U.K. derived oat drink to take the market of almond/soya but not that of milk.

Or maybe some of the claims made don't add up?

I wonder how much is consumed rather than just bought. I’ve been to several events where oat, almond, soya, wasp milk or whatever have been provided but they’ve all been ignored, covered up with cling film and avoided.
