    I feel like some conspiracy theorist when I talk about this.

    We're 100% being fed poison, CEOs don't even eat the shit they peddle. Everything is to make money, make you sick to sell you something to make you better. Eating the EXACT same shit in a country like Italy is worlds different, you don't get bloated, you don't get the same options even. I never even saw Pepsi products, probably banned. Pasta, pizza, gelato, daily, no bloat, no laziness, no negatives.

    Crazy what America allows its people to consume knowing it's killing and making us dumber. All in the name of money. I hate this place.

    They have pepsi in Italy. There are some differences in what is allowed in American food vs European food but none of them would explain bloating or laziness. You may have some digestive issues because I don't get those symptoms when eating American pasta or pizza unless I eat way too much.

    A lot of Americans cite foreign food as being “better” and note how much better they feel while traveling. The average American also probably walks 10-20x more while on a European vacation than they do at home. I don’t think it’s the food

    From living abroad it's both. The food is better outside the US in terms of quality, and you tend to walk more outside the US as it's a car hellscape here.

    "What is this witchcraft?!? I don't feel like shit, I'm sleeping better, and I have a bunch more energy? Must be the food." - American on vacation suddenly walking miles a day vs walking maybe 100 - 200 yards a day normally.

    I usually avoid American products because they're more bloated than the local ones. For example I can get Pringles which have a bunch of ingredients I don't recognize, or I can just get potato chips with olive oil (2 ingredients). Most of the time the local ones also taste better and are cheaper.

    Uhh, plant-based milks are not what you replace milk with for nutritional reasons. That's what seeds and greens are for.

    Plant-based milks are what you replace dairy with for culinary reasons. And don't expect it to be the same, just find what's good in its own way.

    Gullible idiots popularizing plant milks is great for people with dairy allergies. Allergen-free foods mostly cost substantially more than the stuff they're replacing, so mass adoption lowers the prices and broadens availability. Additionally, different plant milks taste pretty different and you generally want to use different ones for different things. For example, coconut milk is tasty in desert recipes but not so much in mashed potatoes or sauces, whereas pea milk is great for those.

    Source: my fiance is a chef with like 9 different food allergies, including dairy.

    I feel this. I've been a lacto-ovo vegetarian my entire life, though since about 2010 or so I've been basically entirely plant based. With the veganism fad that went big in the 201Xs, the ease of access to vegetarian and vegan options increased so much, and it's awesome.

    Before then, I never went to restaurants because they simply wouldn't have food for me, and if they did, it was obscure items on the menu they never cooked, and I always ended up getting food poisoning. Now there are entire restaurants only doing plant based foods. Hell even fast food have entire menus dedicated to plant based options.

    In the end I'm still cooking much the same way I did in the past, except I guess I buy plant milks, and have access to tofu that's already made.

    I've a coeliac friend who echoes the same sentiments with the anti-gluten craze.

    My nuclear family group chat is discussing gut health and diet. I am very tempted to post this in there.

    Oh not this again. Why is milk such a weird misinformation topic for so many people? If you're lactose intolerant, don't drink milk. But it's just milk, not a miracle cure jfc. If your country has a crop that has a lot of calories, that's what people consume, like rice, bread, beans, potatoes, or milk.

    Animals don't fly in airplanes, all crops and products take energy, the dairy industry is fucked up and has a long history of shitty ethics, and all business is competitive. But, if you like milk, drink it, if you don't, don't. But dairy milk isn't poison, neither is grain milk, and neither of those is evil or amazing, they're just food.

    Eat a balanced diet and exercise and don't smoke or vape, get 8 hours of sleep, treat your femboys well, commit arson, drink more water, take a deep breath, and if your parents aren't pieces of shit and they're still alive, give them a call. Everything in moderation.

    Stop being so hard on yourself. Life is too short. There is no such thing as a panacea.

    most of the world is allergic to milk,

    I'm going to need to see some sources to back up that claim.

    Edit: this seems to say less than 0,5% of adult population is allergic to milk. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1939455122000229

    Lactose intolerance is more common.

    Experts estimate that about 68 percent of the world’s population has lactose malabsorption.1

    https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/digestive-diseases/lactose-intolerance/definition-facts

    But that's far from allergy. Allergies are more severe than just bloating, diarrhea and gas.

    Why are you drinking milk after you stopped being a baby, are you Homelander or something?

    Fuck. I will eventually have to buy my own pasteurization equipment, won't I?

    Idiots. Raw milk is going to spread H5N1, which will ravage this country because there won't be a vaccine.
