Milk is so calorie dense, I stopped to drink coffee after measuring it all out (discuss.tchncs.de)

Tracking calories for weight loss, I realized that milk is "heavy", and I poured a lot of it into my coffee. Now I can think of better use for these calories (in solid form) in my <2000kcal deficit plan.

@SnorriSturluson @rstein And that's what I don't really understand. How can skipping the middleman (or middlecow in this case) make a product more *expensive*??

EU subsidies and competitive pricing stuff happening for cow milk (it’s one of these products supermarkets consider essential and thus they aim to compete with Aldi prices). Also for soy products since they are considered “lifestyle” products producers and stores assume they can make more profit from those.

And here in Germany we have a VAT (MwSt) of 19% on plant milks and 7% on cow milk. Because cow milk is „essential“.
