The dairy industry appears to be going vegan, too:
🌱Canadian dairy giant Saputo is acquiring a plant-milk business
🌱Arla announced its own oat-milk brand
🌱Danone spent $10 billion in 2017 buying plant-based WhiteWaves Food bloom.bg/2FL3DJ7
Part of this is simply chasing consumer demand.
Seeking a source of tasty fats with a smaller carbon footprint than the cattle industry is a justification for consumers to switch, and self-diagnosed lactose intolerance appears to be on the rise bloom.bg/2FL3DJ7
There’s a better reason for the dairy industry to chase the vegan market, however:
From that perspective, the dairy industry would be better off if milk-drinking continued to decline and people switched to plant-based alternatives.
So don’t be surprised to see milk producers increasingly going vegan-ish bloom.bg/2FL3DJ7
Just don’t kid yourself that you’re cutting your carbon footprint much by opting for an almond latte.
The amount of milk coming out of cows is still rising -- and it’s the butter on your toast and the cheese on your pizza that’s driving it bloom.bg/2FL3DJ7
