How does the longevity of a milk make it better? 
I can give you kangaroo shit milk that will last you forever. This is just a karma farming post.
Hehe, nut milk. >

Now you can't spell nutrition without NUT >

Ask me that again after post-nut clarity hits >

Is the metric for a better milk is the length of time it lasts? >

let me tell you about delicious dehydrated milk. Just mix with water.
In post apocalyptic times we're going to enjoy milk like kings >

Bold of you to assume there will be safe to drink water. >

thats why you turn it into milk so it isnt water anymore >

I will take the radioactive water over milk powder. >

well glowing in the dark has its benefits >

Especially for attracting mates >

If only they made a type of ultra pasteurized milk that was shelf stable. That'd be a million dollar idea right there. >

i think they use some kind of Ultra Heat Treatment. i think there is an abbreviation for it. >

There's no demand for that, because it's shite >

I take it you've never been to Spain, Southern Europe or Africa? 
It may be shite if you have quality dairy, but its almost essential in hot countries. >

I live in a hot mediterranean island and the first time I learnt that UHT milk even exists was when I went to Hungary to study. >

Yep it's more common in poorer european countries/ex eastern communist europe >

Your mom says my nut milk is the best >

That's what she said >

r/thatsthejoke >

Some oat milk is shelf safe until you open it. Then you need to refrigerate it. >

I FUCK with oat milk dude! God. Damn. Fuck yea! Unsweetened vanilla? Sublime. >

I find it has a nice earthy taste. Really good when I use it in coffee, and make shakes with it. 
I prefer it to milk in all aspects, besides cookie dipping lol >

I got it in a cappuccino once and I never looked back.
That oat taste is a game changer and is closest to milk body wise IMO. Almond milk is a joke. >

Almond milk is too watery. Oat milk has got the creaminess and flavor. >

THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS. Almond milk honestly tastes ass but oat milk can honest pass as regular milk in coffee/other drinks unless you were to tell someone about it. >

I'm fairly certain that most containers of those milk say consume within 7 - 14 days from opening. >

The milks that I buy gets bad within 2 days after opening it. >

do u put them in the fridge after opening >

Put it in the what now? >

If it takes you 3 months to go through a carton, do you really even need milk? >

Seems to be someone who just uses it as coffee cream. Or makes quarter-sized pancakes once a week. >

Feel like I'd get arrested if I tried selling it idk how these other guys get away with it. >

I prefer badger milk myself; extra chunky is the best! /s >

They last 2-3 months and you buy 4 at a time? There's no way you're only grocery shopping every couple months if you actually use what you buy, so your logic doesn't make a lot of sense. Have my upvote for misunderstanding how milk works. >

Unopened it'll last, but I studied bacteria in college, if this guy is leaving unrefrigerated nutrient rich liquids out in the environment and using them for weeks at a time he's going to have a very bad time sooner rather than later. >

There's nothing in the post that suggests it's unrefrigerated >

No. Nut milks don't taste anything like milk. So many people have told me they're better but they have a caveat. Almond seperates. Coconut is too thin. Soy just tastes bad so it usually has a weird flavor covering it. Oat is closest in consistency but it doesn't taste like milk. I really don't get it, it's not worth it. Id rather just not drink milk than have non dairy milk >

To me, unsweetened oat milk tastes just like milk. I switched. >

This community is really showing its overlap with /r/teenagers in this post. >

Organic milk is Ultra Pasteurized to remove the bacteria that curdles it. 
So it lasts like 3 months. Next time you are at the store, take a look. 
I bought 2 gallons yesterday that expire in March. >

the only thing I buy organic - it has a practical impact and isn't just marketing nonsense >

i also only buy things made out of organs. it just feels right >

I don't give two hoots about the expiration date. 
Have you tried the coconut milk? That stuff is delicious! It makes everything better. French toast, cereal, pancakes, etc. Then drinking coconut milk with cake or pies, wow. >

It’s nut juice >

The term “milk” is an old chemistry term referring to a heterogeneous mixture of insoluble compounds (colloid is the modern term). 
Think “milk of magnesia” used as an antacid. It is called a milk because the Mg(OH)2 doesn’t dissolve and just forms a suspension. Almond milk is a suspension of ground up almond particles. Cow milk is a suspension of fat particles that won’t dissolve. This is why milk is homogenized because it wants to form a floating fat layer and water layer. That’s unappealing so they fake making it look the same throughout. It is not a homogeneous solution. 
So anything you can mix up in water that doesn’t dissolve and it stays suspended is “milk”. >

Yes, because food is valued only by it's shelf life. >

This is why I only eat beef jerky and honey >

Tastes better. Lasts longer. Agreed. >

I got a couple containers of nut milk for ya >

Fill another box did ya? >

Tehehe. He drinks nut milk. >

Hey OP, just so you know, real milk freezes and thaws no problem.  I bought 25 litres of milk that was set to expire in 3 days and froze it.  The day before one runs out, I put the next one on the counter for 8 hours so it’s mostly thawed (still cold by then too).  The rest thaws over the couple days I drink it. >

Thank you. This is such a great idea and I don’t know why I never thought of it. No one drinks milk in my house. We literally need it once a month or so for recipes and of course we don’t have it on hand and then I have to buy a container that mostly goes to waste, but you just made me realize I can freeze it half a cup at a time in baggies. 
Thank you >

Lactose free milk is the same way though and tastes better than nut milks >

I bought lactose free milk and it gave me explosive runs. Then I saw that they simply added Lactaid to it and was not lactose-free at all, it's all bullshit, it's a lie.
"Lactose-free" milk is a lie. It not only has lactose but they did nothing at all to remove lactose. >

Isn't that how Lactose free works? You can't produce Lactaid so they give it to you >

I understand that's a good solution, now that people are mentioning it, I've never bought lactose free milk so I never cared to check
But I always assumed they removed lactose bcause of the name, lactose free should mean it's free of lactose not that they supplement it with lactaid to help process the lactose it still has >

Soy and oats are not nuts. Neither is a coconut. >

if coconut's aren't nuts why does it have nut in the name then? explain that. >

Still tastes like shit tho >

What do you buy 4 of? >

Well how about you look for long lasting regular milk. I have a carton (12 pieces) which lasts months (Without refrigiration before being open I might add.) so that sounds like a problem where you are. >

have you ever had filtered milk? those last 1~2 months. >

There’s only one milk that the FDA allows pus in and it ain’t nut milk >

"Have you ever seen a tit on an almond?" >

And Twinkies and better than an apple because they last much longer too >

Well that's because it is just nut or grain water and not actual milk. >

Nut Milk, hurr hurr hurr 'Nut Milk' pfnarr >

OPs mum loves nut milk >

I did not read this right the first 3 times.. omg >

But they all taste like garbage though. >

The longer it lasts the more preservatives it has. Alternative milk products are full of oils, sugars and not many vitamins in comparison >

The oils and sugars are just there to mimic the fats and sugars that dairy milk has. Very little difference. Also almost all plant milks are fortified with the same nutrients as milk; namely calcium. >

Minus the pus and antibiotics. >

All milk commercially sold in the US is routinely tested for antibiotics. >

Doesn't really matter. They all taste like shit anyways. Nothing beats regular cow milk. >

Taste difference isn't worth it. Dairy all the way. >

Animal secretions meant for baby animals? Gross. >

You drank it as a baby stupid. New flash, your burger is dead animal muscle. GROSS! Wait. I meant delicious. Milk and meat are deliciius. >

Nut milks are better because they reduce animal suffering. >

Almond "milk" is doused with glyphosate, which is lethal to bees. In areas where there is high demand for almond "milk", bees are dying at an unforeseen rate.
You're also consuming this glyphosate whenever you drink it. >

This issue is preventable and still not as cruel as what is done to cows to harness their breast milk.
You can also make almond milk at home. >

Those horrific videos you see online depicting factory farms are not taken in the developed world.
I have family members who are dairy farmers. They love their cows are treat them incredibly well. 
They do not forcibly impregnate the cows, nor do they separate them from their calves. Their cows are well-fed and treated like pets. They’re all named (in addition to having an ID number) and have their own distinct personalities. >

Anything that is bought in a supermarket can't be produced like that.
Where do the calves go after they grow? Are they set free? If they drink the milk, how can they make enough to sell? And how is the cow impregnated? Is she just allowed to date a few bulls and do her own thing?
Is she taken care of when she's old? Who pays for that?
Sorry but I call bs.
Also, I live in the developed world and I know how farms and slaughterhouses work here. I've also met some farmers etc. >

Well, it is.
They have hundreds of livestock on hectares upon hectares of land.
Calves are weaned at around 3 months. The breeds used in dairy farming produce an excess amount of milk, and will continue to produce milk for about a year after giving birth if they’re regularly milked.
They are giving a break (about two months) between calving and lactation cycles to allow them to rest.
The calves join the herd upon reaching maturity. They don’t “go” anywhere. Dairy cows are not used for beef.
As for how the cows become pregnant, they are placed into pens with bulls at the beginning of the calving season (which happens twice a year, in Autumn and Spring). Then, nature takes its course. Animals are driven to reproduce. They are not inseminated artificially.
Genetic pairing does not matter with dairy cows, meaning certain bulls are not required to mate with certain cows to produce a genetically superior offspring.
A lot of the time, dairy cows will be able to produce milk until they reach the end of their life. The dairy farmers in my family keep the cows that can no longer produce milk and continue to care for them. They brush them, give them treats, talk to them, etc. 
Cows are surprisingly similar to dogs. They know when people are coming to feed them, and they’ll race to the tractor for the best bits of food and lots of head pats. 
They also keep infertile cows (with fraternal twin births, female offspring are always infertile) and cows that need to be “retired” for health reasons (they only have the vet euthanise cows and bulls that are in severe pain and have health problems that can’t be treated).
Ethical farming does exist. I’ve seen it firsthand. >

Look, I'm glad you friend's cows are happy but that's just not what happens to the cows that produce most of the milk sold in stores. If you think that's what goes on with Parmalat cows (sorry I don't know any foreign companies), you are deluded.
And anyway, you telling me that your parents give presents to their cows and talk to them doesn't mean much if you also eat Meat. What, you only eat elderly and sick cows who died of old age? Why do some cows deserve to be pampered while others deserve to be eaten? >

Exponentially better for the planet as well. >

Better for the animals, too. Cows produce milk for their babies. >

I will say I was impressed by the refrigerated shelf life of almond milk, but it doesn't taste anywhere near as good as 2% >

I heard its taste like fuck >

Coconut milk and almond milk is just 😩💦💦 >

For masturbation? >

If it's the nut milk from stop and shop, STOP. That is not milk but whipped up hydrogenated oil
