There’s a link between the ability to process lactose and the human populations that domesticated cows (chicken or egg which came first) but that ability is concentrated in humans with a larger percentage of Neanderthal blood (common north of Africa and west) versus other early humanoids like the Denisovans. Almond milk is terrible for the environment, uses tons of water. It’s caused a political war in California over water rights and dramatically reduced the water table over a very short period of popularity as farmers switched to the crop. I think for a certain person the culmination of almond milk becoming culturally passed and it being a deeply European quality to be able to process lactose that makes whole milk such a weird flex (in addition to the whole America of it all…)
“But I’ll spare you from a longer analysis that absolutely no one is asking me for...” False bcs I am now asking 😂 this was so fun and spot on! also the Celine w.out phoebe thing WOW. Bcs the whole milk (esp the weird alt right unpasteurized overlap???) - in glass bottles crowd are definitely the same vibe as ppl buying phoebe philo not caring about the cancel culture of it all!! They want what they want and they can afford not to care frankly🥛
“Almond by almond” 😂 fantastic read—your goopXwsj thesis is so fitting but I would like also like to add funny and lighthearted in a quippy way that Gwen and WSJ *wishes* they could be!! Worth my subscription many times over 🩷
This made me tear up, like if I’m ever taking myself too seriously pls call authorities 😭 — thank you for getting me and getting trademarked, ILY🥹🥹🥹💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
This is a great question! My quiet luxury milk is Ripple since it actually has protein - not as chic as Tache and more under the radar since it's made with peas, but it's highly rated in the vegan community.
It's probably more utilitarian, but Ripple's the closest to milk that I've found :) I'm excited for the day my Whole Foods finally gets Tache, I've heard so much about it and their merch is on point.

Tariro the concealer… it’s hands down best I’ve ever tried
i think this means that we need the ITG alum herself to buy, try, and expound on the encore 👀
