No my eyes are not as good as they used to be.

If you were walking backwards in the first place.

It's not milk.

At best, it's juice.

Fair point, but I guess the marketing folks figured that getting people to ask for coffee with a splash of nut juice might lead to some awkward situations

Look like you're keeping abreast of the situation!

Getting milk from a cow, a goat or a super-model I understand, but getting it from almonds?  That's just nuts! ?

I am on a diet now and have been drinking almond and oat milk. It tastes more like fat free milk to me. Makes a great low calorie substitute for milk. They call it milk to attract milk drinkers I suppose. A marketing ploy that seems to work pretty well. Since I started drinking it, I don't really miss milk. 

I have lost over 20 pounds so far. 30 calories a glass if a person drinks the unsweetened version. That's probably my only motive for drinking it. They say milk is unhealthy, almond (milk) is not healthy according to some. Others say it's better for you. Around and around we go.

This is similar to comments from others on the subject.  It must take a LOT of almonds to make a gallon of the stuff.

Very cool Tim ?

I don't drink milk in any form - I have my coffee black and don't eat breakfast cereal so I've no real cause to.

It does seem an odd thing to consume really - the lactation of another mammal.

Mind you, I do make an exception for cheese ?

I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but only when something I'm cooking calls for milk.  I definitely have quite a bit of yogurt (whole-milk and unsweetened only, to which I add unfiltered, raw, local honey).  I also enjoy cheese on some foods.

A good course of action I'm sure.

The lactation of another animal....? When I look at in in those terms it sorta causes me to think about it differently. I try not to think too much about eggs when I eat them for the same reason.

Cheese? Who cares what they make the stuff out of, I like it!

I have the unsweetened Greek yogurt. I might sweeten it with monk fruit. For those who might be curious..no it has nothing to do with monks as far as I know. 

I'm on a keto diet. I only eat low carb bread. Any extreme increase in carbs will throw me out of ketosis. I allow myself some liberty occasionally. On this diet I can have all the meat  and vegetables I want.

Not as odd as the look you'll get if you ask for some human milk.

I have yet to find any Greek yogurt that wasn't either still full of sugar or was low/non-fat (which, ironically, is a great way to stay fat and get heart disease!).

I've listened to a lot of holistic doctors and this guy has been the best:

He doesn't just say "Do this!" but, instead, goes through everything and explains in easy-to-understand terms why.

This is my favorite yogurt:
