Alt text: LinkedIn post If you really knew me you'd know I think oat milk is a scam. Check the ingredients - it's oil and carb sludge, not worth it on a daily basis. Similar to applying to jobs online, it's tempting but basically crap. Just because everyone is doing it doesn't mean it's the best or healthiest strategy. Following mainstream trends isn't necessarily what will work. It's true for job searching as much as your health. Do you. But also, try something new when you know better.

Maybe this isn't that much of a lunatic but I'm white knighting non-dairy milk, okay?

Non dairy milk is great. But he's right when oat milk costs 5x or 10x the price of regular milk while having mostly cheap ingredients is a scam.

I agree, oat milk should not be this expensive it's mainly water! Milk is also both heavily subsidized by the state so the price drops and the producer don't make a lot of margins on it.

That's so true, making it yourself if you can is the best

How much do you pay for oat milk? It's like โ‚ฌ1.40/L here which is only like 50% more than dairy milk.
