    Define “bullshit”. Like, they’re all real. Milk has meant “white liquid” for about a thousand years in English so they’re all justifiably called milk.

    Nut milks use a lot of water in places that often have shortages so that’s troubling.
    Oat milk and rice milk are pretty good.

    I’d avoid milkweed sap or dandelion milk.

    Coconut milk is fine, if you’re into coconuts.

    Milk of magnesia is pretty cruddy.

      Cow milk uses like twice the water of almost milk and almond milk is like five times as much as most other plant milks.

        Yup. Biggest issue is that almond milk mostly needs to be made in places that have some water issues to contend with, whereas if I buy milk it’s coming from nearby, where there’s plenty of water.

        I’m partial to oat milk 'cause I like it’s texture a bit more.
