Soya Oaternative
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Ealing.
- Thursday, 21st of March 2024
When Sevan arrived at Mr G's place, everything seemed normal. There was cash on the kitchen worktop, a bundle of labels for his shopping list and a bottle of his usual soya milk on the counter. Well, actually, that last one wasn't normal. Sevan usually only saw a small piece of the carton in the label pack. Mr G asked:
"I've been reading bad things about soya online. What do you drink?" - Mr G
Sevan said that from the non-dairy milks he liked oat and coconut tasted nice too. He'd heard that oat milk had low food miles too, so it was relatively good for the environment. Apart from thinking that it wasn't nice in coffee, he'd use it in place of cow's milk anywhere else.
"I haven't eaten a cow in 45 years and knowing how the cows are treated makes me feel horrible" - Mr G
...so cow's milk was out. Sevan suggested that he try something new to see if he liked it and Mr G gave Sevan free reign to choose some unsweetened non-dairy milk.
Other than choosing the milk, the shopping list was straight forward with regular Mr G food categories, so everything was quickly found. Returning to Mr G's, Sevan presented the bottle of oat milk, which Mr G placed on the counter suspiciously, saying that he wanted to have a read up on it first before deciding if he was going to drink it.
