    It’s also not made for adults, it’s literally baby food for mamals.
    While some parts of the world have been drinking it out of necessity to survive (in colder climate) most of the world haven’t developed a lactose tolerancy.
    Adult milk drinkers are indeed freaks.

      Yet several cultures across the world developed means to drink milk and eat cheese. The mongols’ fermentation process allows them to eat and drink despite being lactose intolerant, not to mention they make kumis from mare milk

      Well it’s not like plants are made for us to eat but we still eat them

        Actually lots of the plant parts we eat did evolve being eaten as part of the survival plan. Fruits disperse seeds and keep us less interested in eating more vital parts of the plant.

          Not particularly by us, the same as milk didn’t evolve to be particularly drunk by humans

            “Not particularly by us” OK then not particularly by anything by that logic, as we’re very much included in the wide range of animals who’s dietary needs have conditioned the evolution of fruit-based seed dispersal. Fact of the matter is we’ve been eating and pooping out seeds for the entire existence of our species and likely the entire existence of our mammalian lineage. We did evolve to eat fruit and they did evolve to be eaten by us.

            We evolved to benefit from our own milk, too. Though only for the first year or so of life.

        I’ll stick to milking my almonds, even if it’s a tedious job bcs their tits are very small.

          It’s actually really easy, you put them in a blender with water and then squeeze them in a cheesecloth so the proteins come out. And you can make crackers with the dried leftovers.

          But oat milk > almond milk and for that you do unfortunately have to milk thousands of tiny little oat titties.
