We pasteurized milk for a reason, raw milk was a cause of a lot of issues.
There's not much of a reason to drink milk nowadays anyway. Oat milk has become so good in emulating the taste of cow milk that there's just no point in going for the original product with all its massive downsides.
Please give me recommendations of oat milk that tastes good. I’ve been desperately looking and/or hoping for bacterial production to kick off to make it more environmentally sustainable, but I haven’t found anything that tastes remotely as good (on its own or in a latte). I drink ultrafiltered milk for what it’s worth, usually 2% so I don’t need the creamy aspect, I just like the flavor.
For me, Planet Oat's milk is pretty good, but their "Barista Lovers" version is the most like regular milk to me. It's really white and acts the most like regular milk. This should just be the default milk they make, to be honest. It's somewhat hard to find, unfortunately, but they have a map at their site that can help.

I think I’ve tried this before but will give it another shot, maybe I just got the regular one.
I wonder too if there are genetic differences at play. Like folks that taste cilantro differently.
Anyways if it’s 90% as good as milk then that’ll be good enough for me to switch haha, thanks!
US based here. Saaaame, I didn't like Planet. I get Plant Folk oatmilk from Sam's club, and I now detest anything more thick or savory than that. If anything, Plant Folk's a little watery compared to most oat milks I tried locally.
I've personally found pea milk to be the substitute that most closely resembled cows milk in taste and texture.
The main reason to drink milk is not taste. It's the perfect mix of macros for growing kids. Plant based drinks cannot come close to real milk for nutrition.
I have yet to find a milk substitute that pours the same way, specifically over cereal, but even into a glass. Dairy milk holds itself together fairly well, but non-dairy milk tends to splatter all over the place.
It's a minor inconvenience that in no way counters said downsides of dairy milk, but it's a frequent reminder that it's not the same.
Smoking crack kills taste buds.
Crackheads would know.
Well TBF outbreaks of AIDs causing viruses probably wasn't high on the list in 1386 but I agree with your sentiment.
AIDS-causing viruses? H5N1 is influenza... Have I missed some kind of news that we can get AIDS from the flu now??
Yes. AIDS is airborne now. Mask up!
Link? Or are we just trolling the surprisingly large overlap of people who are unjustifiably freaked out by AIDS and people who think wearing masks is limiting their freedums?
Mostly just trolling. If AIDS was airborne, you would not be learning about it from a comment.
Lol they are definetly trolling
No way... Masking up makes the person not look as cool doing it. It doesn't feel as good.
No problem! Now you can get "silicone face shields! SFS or SupaFaSe! With SupaFaSe, you feel every one of his airborne molecules going into your body! With SupaFaSe-R, ribbed, the molecules are extra bouncy for your pleasure! Ask for SupaFaSe-R over the counter!
I have mask induced asthma. Also, I am alpha mail.
Bird Flu is not just regular stomach flu. Avian Influenza is a threat on a larger scale, but I guess I might have been misinformed on the connection to auto-immune disease as the two are often presented as a singular issue when brought to attention (an immune compromised individual will very likely die from H5 infection).
