    ProVeg found that many exceeded healthy limits on salt,

    Can confirm, people like tasty things and this slop needs all the help it can get.

    Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good only makes sense if it’s actually in competition with something good.

    Almonds use absurd amounts of freshwater that we’re kinda running low on globally. plant based milks all contain some amount of seed oil. and it’s all packaged in plastic and shipped around the world instead of grown locally.

    Which to be fair is all problems with capitalism and not veganism.

      Still way less than almond milk. Funny how you’re only assigning those criticisms to plant-based milks when dairy milk jugs use a lot of plastic. There are oat and soy milks that are way more sustainable than either.

      I think modern, western veganism stems from capitalism; at least they’re tightly bound.
