Oat Milk Intolerance

by Alex Steelsmith

“[C]ow’s milk may actually be better for you [than oat milk]… Whey protein [which is not found in oat milk]
contains branched-chain amino acids, which are beneficial for muscle growth and recovery.”

Higgledy-swiggledy,
cow’s milk enthusiasts
offered alternatives
tend to convey

utter antipathy,
stereotypically
venting objections by
blurting, “No whey!”
