So no more bird flu!!
Not if they rename it. I’m thinking maybe calling it “The Biden Pox.”
Skip the problem by drinking plant-based milk.
I can't barely afford normal milk
You can buy in bulk or make your own oat milk using a blender.
Can't afford to buy in bulk. Don't have a blender.
Plant-based milk tends to be a little pricier in my experience. Dairy milk is only cheaper because of the billions in subsidies they receive and the economies of scale.
I know. Still doesn't change the fact I can't afford it.
If you go on a whole foods plant based diet it can reduce your grocery bills by 20-30%, that can help with buying safer milk thus avoiding the hormones, contaminants and casomorphins.

Also plant-based milk is expected to become the majority of milk consumed by America very soon so the costs should come down.
im honestly gonna look into this
Don't buy either, drink water
Water and bread for everyone!
How many animals you know that drink the milk of other animals for their whole life?
To be fair, many humans have a specific mutation to allow it, so it being rare is kind of irrelevant. Few animals have broken vitamin C synthesis, but nobody gives us shit for eating citrus.
We're talking about someone saying they can't afford to pay the difference between regular and plant based milk here. The solution is to just not drink either, no one needs to drink milk and it is expensive compared to just drinking water that is simply free.
If you know a way to make plant-based Ensure as cheap as regular Ensure, I'll get right on that. We can barely afford my current diet.

I'm not very aware about Ensure, but you could go plant-based on everything else.
"Everything else" is, in general, lentil dal. Which is a bit of an improvement.
Oh, and tea and a bit of wine.
The point is that some people's diets are under the supervision of an educated nutritionist and when that medical professional says to drink things with milk in them, I do. It's not as simple as you think to just switch away from certain foods for people on special diets. And people like you never consider people like me. It's this idea that there's some universal foods that everyone can eat no matter what their health is or what their needs are. It's just not true and I am really tired of this whole idea that I can just choose to consume whatever I want because people on the internet say so.
But what about the raw milk? -RFK
They're gonna have to thanks to Jackass McKenedy, if no other reason.
