Re: Petty annoyances thread
(Anonymous) 2020-10-17 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)I once new a guy who thought it was just so weird that people drank milk as a beverage at all and wouldn't drink any kind of milk, including plant milk, because he thought that was equally weird as drinking cow's milk. It made me realize it is kind of weird. Yes, there is the calcium, but if you're drinking calcium-fortified plant milk, why not just drink water and take a supplement? It's the same thing.
Animal milk and plant milk are not exactly equivalent in cooking, anyway, given that plant milk doesn't have the acidity of cow's milk. I'm not a chemist or trained chef so I can't say exactly when it matters if you swap, but I do know from experience that if you are making pancakes with a little baking soda as a leavener, they won't rise as much if you use plant milk. You have to add a little lemon juice or other acid and at that point, why use plant milk at all? Just use water. If you need to add some fat, use a bit of vegetable oil. (I don't think most plant milks are as fatty as whole cow's milk, anyway, except for the kind of coconut milk that isn't meant for drinking, which is probably still not equivalent because I bet it's more fatty!) You can cook oatmeal with water, too.
Obviously, that doesn't account for things like what you pour over your dry cereal or put in your coffee or cheese. But, as they say, there is no such thing as truly ethical grocery shopping anyway, so everyone just do your best within the bounds of what makes sense for where you live, what taste you like, what you can afford, and your own dietary needs and sense of morality.
