I’m allergic to milk. Trying to explain that to people sometimes goes like this:

“I’m allergic to milk.”

“You mean you’re lactose intolerant?”

“No, I’m allergic to milk. I can digest it just fine.”

“What do you mean?”

“Milk. I’m allergic to it.”

“What happens when you drink it?”

“My throat starts to swell up and get itchy. It’s hard to breathe for a while.”

“OOOOOH. You’re allergic to milk.”

“Yeah.”

The boomer crusade against alternative milks is one of the weirder forms of toxic masculinity and smacks of subservience to and brainwashing by the milk lobby.

Average boy who eats soy

Completely wild to shit on soy milk in coffee.

Like, if you're trying to be toxic about your coffee, how do you even justify diluting the coffee with milk in the first place? Can't even do toxicity properly, get real

I didn't realize I was lactose intolerant for the longest time. I just assumed everyone had some food that gave them the booboos and it was just the price of living. I thought intolerance was synonymous with allergy, and since it didn't kill me, I just assumed I didn't have it.

How I found out:

Me: I sure do love ice cream. Sucks that it makes me stomach hurt.

Friend: So you're lactose intolerant?

Me: Oh, no, no. Ice cream and milk have just always messed up my stomach.

Friend:

Me:

Friend: That's what lactose intolerance is.

"One hot bean juice with cold bean juice, please."

That's why I order with almond milk because nut juice is more manly.

Oat milk is superior than any other option for coffee drinks and I will die on this hill

Do you want to hear the story about how I figured out how I had lactose intolerance after eating 3 helpings of an ice cream dessert with extra whipped cream?

I don't understand why you'd drink a soy caffè latte, because I don't understand why you'd drink a caffè latte, because I don't understand why you'd drink any type of coffee.

Then you take it black, like my heart.

Real milk contains mammal estrogen instead of just the plant kind.

Do these people also only eat plain boiled rice for fear of soy sauce?
