Transcript

00:00Cow's milk is meant for baby cows. Cow's milk is meant for calves.

00:04We should be drinking oat milk, what's wrong with us?

00:06Fair enough.

00:07Ask David Attenborough.

00:08Soya milk, I heard it gives you man boobs, so I didn't really bother with that.

00:12Do you drink any milk now?

00:14Yeah, I've got, I just did my grocery, like I showed you.

00:18Grocery haul.

00:19Here you go.

00:22Oh yeah.

00:22No brand, sorry.

00:23Do you drink oat milk?

00:24Yeah.

00:25You do?

00:25I have it every day in my coffee. I definitely, I always ask for oat milk as well.

00:29It's the only milk I drink.

00:30And why do you drink it?

00:31Lactose intolerant.

00:33So I don't, yeah, I don't like regular milk.

00:35I used to love regular milk, so I kind of miss it.

00:37But yeah, now oat milk is the one.

00:39I used to.

00:40What made you start and what made you stop?

00:42This is going to sound really bad, it's TikTok.

00:44I watched some TikTok videos and said oat milk was really bad for me.

00:47Do you know what? I don't actually know why I drink oat milk, you know?

00:49I just thought it was actually healthy.

00:51That's probably why I opt for oat milk.

00:53There have been a few reports recently saying that oat milk has quite a lot of sugar in it

00:56and it's got additives, preservatives, etc.

01:00What do you think about that?

01:01And would you consider switching to other plant-based milks?

01:04Everything's got so much sugar and preservatives in these days, it's really hard to avoid.

01:08So I guess so.

01:09I guess I'd want to figure out how much there is compared to other things.

01:12So I used to be a vegan and was obviously drinking a lot of oat milk at that point.

01:18But oat milk, especially some of like the bigger name brands,

01:21it's very like oil heavy in how they create it and like emulsify the product.

01:28And so just kind of moved away from it.

01:31It tastes better in coffee if you have like a latte.

01:35But I've heard it's terrible in tea.

01:37It's really bad in tea.

01:38Yeah.
