“Consumption of milk per capita has gone down every year over the last 30 years,” says Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. “Actually, it’s gone down by more than 20 per cent since 2015.”

While bagged milk is often cited as a unique Canadianism, it’s actually not sold west of Ontario. Those who prefer it, however, say it’s more cost efficient and some even believe it tastes better.

    There is NextMilk and NotMilk brands., both formulated to be similar to actual milk in texture, and taste. You won’t be “Wow, I can’t believe it’s not milk” But it is surprising close compared to oat, soy, or almond milks

        As in your love of actual cow milk, or the oats takes a lot of farming debate? Not Milk is like pineapple juice cabbage juice and other components that somehow come together to work like milk.

          Oats take a lot of space and equipment to farm, and any brand name anything doesn’t help; the idea here was self-sufficiency

            Ah, I see. Goat milk takes some getting used to. Good luck on the self-sufficiency. We had a half acre before for veggies, and a giant pear tree which made good Perry every year.

              I would fucking love a pear tree. I don’t really like apples, but pears are delicious, and if there’s too many to eat, well…as you suggested, I’d drink them
