    https://www.dictionary.com/browse/milk

    any liquid resembling the milk of animals, as the liquid within a coconut, the juice or sap of certain plants, or various pharmaceutical or cosmetic preparations: a gentle cleansing milk for your skin.

    the milk of the rubber tree;

    a gentle cleansing milk for your skin.

    a whitish, potable liquid made of ground nuts, legumes, seeds, or grain blended with water and often a sweetener, used especially as a substitute for dairy milk, its main ingredient as specified: almond milk; rice milk.

    nut milks;

    almond milk;

    oat milk;

    rice milk.

    Words have multiple meanings. Oat milk is just definitively milk - there’s nothing to debate.

    The folks who think it’s exclusively boob juice are being willfully ignorant. It’s like saying “rock” can’t be a genre of music because that word is already taken by the hard things in the ground.

    this is why i hate vegans, they are always trying to trick us innocent corpse crunchers into getting these clearly labelled plant products instead of the stolen animal secretions i need to live, which as far as i’m concerned is basically attempted murder

    and obviously this is not milk despite it being functionally identical to milk for nearly any recipe you could use it in, just how low will they stoop to push their death cult?

    Oat milk is actually the most environmentally friendly milk. Takes the least amount of co2 and water to produce.

      It depends on what nutrients you are comparing, and what environmental metrics you are looking it, but oat milk is wonderful and delicious!

      Soy Milk is very environmentally friendly as well, and a better source of protein (especially the unsweetened variety).

        I wish so badly that I liked the taste of soy milk because of the higher protein content.

        Oat just tastes so good to me.

    Unironically though, high-fat oat mllk is superior for coffee and cooking. It whips almost as good as half-and-half, but doesn’t overpower like half-and-half.

        Sure, if you like your coffee tasting like milk. But if you want it tasting like coffee with a better texture, steamed oat milk.

          Declaring subjective tastes and textures as superior doesn’t make it true for everyone

    It is fun to see the oat milk fans paying through their noses for stuff that cost less than ten cents per liter in ingredients.

    Oat milk is a big money printing business.
