A Swedish farmer using oats to make milk

I thought lactose intolerance is the main reason why people skip animal milk. The OP mentions that this farmer is going for oat milk for environmental reasons.

Not sure what the original etymology of "Milk" but it seems to have evolved from just referring to mammary liquids to liquids of a smooth, translucent or opaque consistency, e.g. Milk of Magnesia.

I always use dairy milk for coffee and found it odd why people would use soy or almond milk. I guess both have fat; do plant fats react to coffee in the same way that dairy fats do?

I've tried milk alternatives in coffee during Lent, and they all sucked - I'd rather have black coffee than coffee with those surrogates. Not to mention that most milk alternatives have carrageenan, which is a questionable substance, although this is changing as it can no longer be used in Certified Organic products.

I've heard a lot of recent Oatley converts say the same and they insist that while the Oatley "i Kaffe" product takes some geeting used to, it does taste better with coffee that regular milk does. So maybe this company has figured something out?
