ok, i thought the same thing as everyone else- fuck that soy based nutmeg bullshit.

found out almond milk is just ground up almonds and water, so i tried it.

one bowl of cereal and im done with cow milk. holy shit is almond milk good! still tastes like milk, but crisper and no flem in your throat after. i honestly can't believe i never had this, its better then cow milk in every way.

found out how to make it yourself too, for approx $1.50/half gallon. whats cool is you just store the almonds as normal, and make a half gallon of milk when you need. its like having the storage benefits of dried milk except it doesnt taste like asshole, and its very healthy.

Soy milk is a good alternative to cow's milk.

the chocolate almond milk is awesome. I won't try just regular almond milk. I'll stick with the fat free milk.

Soy milk usually has been severely genetically modified. Almond milk is usually a healthier alternative to soy.

do it. first glass and youll forget about cow milk. it actually quenches your thirst unlike milk that just covers your mouth with slime. packed with vitamins too, and not bad proteins. and no antibiotics or hormones. also, almonds are excellent for your tendons.

ask me about this yesterday and i would have been on the other side. i have tried soy milk before, but it seemed weird. but there has been a lot of buzz about almond milk lately, and i also was getting sick of drinking so much cow milk. i always knew cow milk wasnt the best for you, but if you drink a quart a week it really doesnt hurt you. thing was, i have been drinking almost a gallon a week lately, i dont know why i just like milk... but i could tell it was hurting my digestion (making my stomach bloated too)

so i just said fuck it and tried the almond milk. blown away, honestly. i cant wait to make it... and just knowing i wont run out of milk anymore is awesome... just pull out some almonds, soak them in water and grind them up. basically like making cold coffee!

I know. You voiced your displeasure for cow's milk, and I was listing another alternative.

Hemp and rice milk are also great alternatives to cow milk. No one should be drinking that shit anyway.

I like hemp, coconut (but sometimes it has too much of a coconutty flavor), and almond. Almond ice creams are pretty good too.

Not a fan of soy or rice.

Almond prices going up. Growing almond trees in California under desert-like conditions requires huge taxpayer (federal and state) subsidies for water resources to keep these almond growers in business:


http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/c ... d=3830095a

Quote:
the United States, almonds have become a staple for many health-conscious consumers. In its raw form, the "power food" is said to lower cholesterol, spur weight loss, and provide powerful antioxidants such as Vitamin E and manganese. Products like almond butter and almond milk have also become increasingly popular in health food stores.

But growing almonds in an arid climate requires lots of water. In fact, Westlands' almond orchards suck up nearly 100 billion gallons of water a year. Cotton, by contrast, needs 40 percent less water per acre, and tomatoes require about half as much water as almonds.

Also, unlike cotton and tomatoes, almonds are a "permanent" crop, meaning the land they're grown on can't lie fallow when water is scarce. "It means farmers really do need to get a hold of water in dry years in order to keep the trees alive," explained Ellen Hanak, a senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California and an expert on water.

Almonds, in short, aren't cut out for droughts. And unless the coming months bring a deluge of rain and snow to California, the almond growers of the western San Joaquin Valley could be in for a catastrophic year. On the last day of January, the state Department of Water Resources said it would cut all water deliveries from California's vast system of reservoirs and aqueducts. The Central Valley Project, which is run by the federal government and provides water to Westlands, may also eliminate water allocations this year. And since tree nuts don't respond well to groundwater in Westlands because of its high salinity levels, the water stoppage could leave the district's almond farmers high and dry.

You may as well go all in and make almond cheese at that point.
