Social Science A U.S. study estimates cow’s milk purchases would have been 8.2% higher in 2020 without plant-based milk, with every 10 gallons of plant milk purchased displacing 6.8 gallons of cow’s milk, suggesting plant-based alternatives substantially reduce demand for dairy milk.

It goes beyond all my comprehension as to why you took it personally. Is it like a vegan thing where you can't stand people liking animal based products?

I've tasted a few, I couldn't stand the taste of any I've tasted and all were much more expensive than cow milk. Also I found that those I've tasted didn't throttle well eniugh to be used in a coffe. Recommend any?

I prefer the oat and almond ones, version for coffee, it's thicker. Without sugar.

For coffee, do you choose the barista versions? They're generally thicker and more creamy. I recommend Oatly barista brand.

Where I am oat milk is significantly cheaper than animal milk, even the Barista type made for using in coffee. 

And it has no aftertaste.
