In today’s show, Kate and Emma talk about the rise of alternative milks! We talk about the decline of traditional milk consumption in the United States coupled with a surging demand for plant-based alternatives. We look into the health questions surrounding dairy including topics like calcium, bone health, and lactose intolerance. We then investigate lobbying efforts to promote Big Dairy and current legislation focusing on banning plant-based milks from being labeled as “milk.” Kate and Emma finish off today’s episode by speaking about the sustainability/ethical issues with dairy vs. water-intensive alternatives like almond milk, leaving you with our advice on how to navigate food “choices” in a warming climate.
