      Chances are, if your $9 before-tip beverage is iced and concocted with an alternative milk, you’re some semblance of queer.

      WTF? How is this shit upvoted? Being sexist or racist for fun is not funny.
      I suppose being not the Onion is fitting, but still...

        Not saying you can't be offended, but they don't mean 'you're some semblance of queer' in a negative or hurtful way. I read it as 'queer people are different to the norm, so are people who prefer plant-based milk'. I read their stuff regularly and to me they've never come across as sexist or rapist.

          Worked fine for me, I haven't edited it, and it still works fine?
          The ")" is absolutely there.
          Hovering your link and mine they are identical.

            Funny enough I started drinking oat milk to save money. I don't go through milk very fast, so it often ended up spoiling. Oat milk has a longer shelf life, so I actually use up what I buy.

                        I usually drank whole milk. I've found I like the Planet Oat extra creamy to be the best. I actually prefer making mac n cheese with it over milk!

                          I just tried it on my phone too (Firefox), and it works fine.
                          So yes strange indeed?

                            I'm not entirely sure that makes it OK.
                            That's kind of like saying a black slave owner would be OK when the white aren't.

                              when using oat (or other sibstitute) milks instead of cow milks in baking, do direct substitutions work well? i have never baked with it before, and have honestly never looked into it... i'm starting to hate my ignorance, heh

                                  From soy milk’s heyday in the 1990s to the rise of oat milk amid the content vortex of the late 2010s, alternative milks have long been queer-coded choices.

                                  Huh what? And here I thought I was going to see some data. But no.

                                  Source?

                                  I talked to a bunch of queer people

                                  This is junk.

                                    US-American subsidies and food culture politics are so deranged that expensive animal lactation is cheaper to the consumer than simple plant extracts.

                                    @[email protected] @[email protected] It's not just USA. I'm Brazilian and non-cow dairy/milk is more expensive than cow dairy/milk. I don't know the current prices (it's been a while since I went to a supermarket) but 1 liter of cow milk was something around BRL 3.50 (consider 1 BRL = 5.50 USD) while the same amount of oat milk costs more than BRL 10.00. Soy milk is slightly "cheaper", costing around BRL 6.00 if I recall correctly. It's worth mentioning that they're are produced nationally.

                                      It works pretty well for most things. The extra creamy oat milk has lower fat and protein than even 2% milk, so it doesn't work well for things like bechamel sauces or custards that depend on the fats to thicken up. Adding a little butter can make up for it though. I've seen quite a few recipes including substitution instructions for oat and nut milk.

                                        Not just that, but they even get the sexism and racism wrong. It's suburban, middle-class, straight white women who are supposed to be associated with $9 lattes.

                                          In Germany, a liter of cow, oat or soy milk is all 1 EUR or according to DuckDuckGo 6.53 BRL (1.17 USD). Ten years ago, local cow farmers fought against the discontinued 0.40 EUR/l ensured price (meaning world market competition), more recently I read somewhere that oat milk has production costs of 0.20 EUR/l here, so the whole math is off on both consumption and production side.
