To think that cows milk is so bad… yet tastes so good

[Escapefromhell]

I need to give up dairy for my health (and the dairy industry is pretty vile when you look at it). All fine, except I have milk on coffee. Good coffee is one of the crucial things in life. AIBU to think with all the technological advances humanity has made, someone would have come up with a milk replacement that tastes good in coffee without adding a load of sugar. I know there are worse problems in the world.

AIBU to think that all cow milk replacements can only be described as ‘sadness water’?

Milk tastes rancid to me. Always has done, but the taste changed completely when I was Pregnant. In fact that was the biggest indicator when I thought the milk in my hot chocolate had gone off and everyone thought it tasted fine. I can just about cope with a splash of it in a cup of tea now but that's it, and even then often it still tastes off to me.

I love cow's milk, yoghurt, cheese...all the dairy. Milk alternatives taste chemically to me and don't sit well in my stomach. I will not sully my coffee and tea with anything other than milk milk.

YANBU!! The alternatives are awful and i've been forced to try a lot over the years

Dairy for vegetarians is like bacon to meat eaters - the thing hardest to give up
or replace.

Cheese, yogurt and butter are delicious.
