The wife really likes the sweetened vanilla AM.

Interesting. Most that can't tolerate regular milk can drink regular milk.

Well, I'm lactose intolerant and allergic to tree nuts

Who would have thought. 50% more calcium and half the calories of 2% milk. Who would have thought!!!
I am done with regular milk.

Yeah, my dad loves almond milk. He’s lactose intolerant

In what way is oat milk unhealthy? I read an article or two more than a year ago and didn't find that oat milk was unhealthy so much as it not being as nutritious as other "milk" beverages.

I like and use almond milk, although I make my own, and I tried to make oat milk a while back with poor success. With almonds being very expensive and resource-intensive to grow it might be nice to have other alternatives to dairy milk.

Anything you can add to your statement would be appreciated.

I suppose they both have their pros and cons...

But yeah cow milk disgusts me.

It takes 16 gallons of fresh water to grow and get a single almond onto your table

I stand corrected, 3.2 gallons per single almond is much more environmentally sound consumption. A half gallon of almond milk takes between 33 and 255 almonds, depending on who made it.

I make my own almond milk sometimes. It's really very easy and
it doesn't have anything unnatural in it that store bought has.
