Oat milk doesn’t have bird flu in it. Just sayin.

Not until the cows give it to them, it doesn't.

Oat milk tastes like cardboard

[–] Specal 7 points 8 months ago

You shouldn't be getting downvotes for this. But I have found almond milk tastes cardboardish, not oatmilk. Oatmilk it very creamy and goes excellent with coffee and cereal. I've found it's ok in tea (I'm not a big tea drinker).

Maybe the brand you've tried? I switched from dairy milk to oat milk a couple years ago after trying most of the other plant milks. I find it to be almost a perfect match to dairy milk in cereal and coffee. I don't use it for anything else.

What brand of milk alternative do you recommend for coffee? I've tried a couple of what my grocery store stocks and one that I ordered online (strive free milk plain and barista version) but none of them seem to replicate what the fat in dairy does to take the edge off of plain coffee / espresso.

Usually I use a mix between heavy cream and half & half with espresso and if I accidentally get fat free half & half (especially if I don't use heavy cream with it) then I can't stand the bitterness / acidity of the espresso or coffee (if I'm making regular coffee instead).

I prefer Oatley's Barista edition. Has a creamy and a bit nutty flavour that goes great in coffee and (strong black) tea.

I buy Planet Oat at my grocery store because it's always on sale. I don't use a lot in coffee though, just a splash, I'm not a half milk / half coffee drinkers. So if you are using a lot maybe it doesn't work as well as dairy milk, I don't know. I do use it for cereal and it is the only plant milk that I've found is super close to the 'mouthfeel' of whole milk in cereal. I really like it. Before I tried oat I tried rice milk and didn't like it. I used almond milk for a long time and it was tolerable. Then I tried oat milk and I think it's far superior in cereal to the other options.

If only there was ANY way to prevent this. Like ANYTHING.

Looks like I'm going to die then, because I'm not stopping my milk consumption. GAYMILK4LYFE 2 LITRES A DAY MINIMUM, BROTHER.

So keep drinking milk if you want to build up immunity to it. This is not medical advice and idk if it works but pasteurization kills the virus in the milk.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No, you would not build up immunity from the small fragments of virus.

Why is that the way vaccines work though
