      Honestly even if we just cut out pork…this animal is as smart as dogs and just as social and loving.

      As an addition Just make sure we are leaving out the slavery sourced goods as well like avacodos and almond milk. Stop eating chocolate. Real Vanilla is completely off limits.

      Cause there’s no point in virtue signalling if your not going all the way.

        Yeah, never change or improve unless you can be perfect all the time!

        It’s crazy how defensive people get when cutting meat is suggested. Don’t even get me started on when the Internet collectively learned the phrase “virtue signalling”. Fuck me running.

          Well I mean if you’re actually going to start trying to be “good” people you might as well actually be good people on all fronts not just the ones you’re prepared for.

          Otherwise you’re just a series of half measures. Don’t be just part of something be all of it.

          And don’t kid yourself no one wants to f*** you

          Sorry pal, I have to say that unless you’re talking about the real thing that you can get in Asia, which is an amazing hot and creamy breakfast drink, soy milk is foul.

          Though almond milk is basically a fraud, mostly water and hardly any almonds. And it tastes like it, so I can see how you rated it below soy milk, even if soy milk is awful.

          If I must settle for fake milk, oat milk is where it’s at. It doesn’t have any weird off flavours, decent caloric content and is decently thick and rich. Probably the most environmentally friendly milk substitute as well because yeah, it’s just oats.

          We take it camping sometimes, as it handles the lack of refrigeration a lot better than the real thing.

            Thankfully there’s multiple milks for different tastes :P

            Personally I find almond milk too watery, but the taste is fine. Oat milk is too paste-y, and I’m not a big fan of the flavor or the carb content. Soy milk, especially vanilla flavored, can be superb from the right brand (some are most certainly worse than others). I also like how protein rich soy milk is, it’s nearly comparable to cow milk.

              Hah, maybe I was a little harsh. There has been a lot of development that went into it since the last time I tried it (long ago) and yes, there’s something for everyone out there.

              I just remembered the first time I tried it in my youth, when milk substitutes were new and exotic. Nasty! Then when I visited Taiwan, I was convinced that soy milk was delicious and not disgusting, and tried it. Asian soy milk is a precursor to tofu just like real milk is a precursor to cheese, and nothing like the product sold in North America. It’s more like a hot bean soup, and I love beans. Every day for breakfast with a Chinese long donut

              When I got back home, I thought maybe soy milk was worth another shot. With the delicious Asian product for comparison, the watery taste of “White people soy milk” as my girlfriend described it was like a slap in the face and solidified a lifetime hatred for the product ;)

              I do agree with you on the protein content as far as milk substitutes go. But I lift weights and I add whey powder to whole milk, so I’ll only ever consider milk substitutes to be exactly that, substitutes. There was a time in my life when I drank an entire gallon a day, resulting in adding 30 pounds to my frame permanently. Milk is amazing but my older guts definitely could not pull that off now. And I think my body would turn it into fat…
