I understand what you're saying. Yet there's a proliferation of things
such as almond milk and soy milk. Wasn't it you who recently said you
discovered and like oat milk for your cereal?

I know they aren't dairy products but apparently they are geared towards
people who either have lactose issues OR people who think non-milk
substitutes are somehow more healthy.

I have a friend who switched to almond milk from lowfat milk. He isn't
lactose intolerant and says he doesn't have cholesterol problems. He
seems to think fake milk is better for him. I guess he's never read the
ingredients. He also told me he uses margarine rather than butter. He
seems to think it's better for him because the label says it contains a
little olive oil. Heh.
