A number of people will be delighted to know I drank soy milk for the first time today (hexbear.net)

Specifically it was chocolate-flavored soy milk. I figured that would be "safer".

The experience of drinking the soy milk went roughly like so:

[pours the milk]

"Hmm. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but it looks ever so slightly opaque compared to dairy milk..."

[gives it a good sniff]

"...It smells like basically nothing. Just as I like it!"

[tastes it]

...

"...Yeah??? OK! I can fuck with that!"

[puts glass down]

"Well, it feels somewhat watered down, yet also a bit saccharine; and the chocolate flavor is clearly different from what I'm used to; but on the whole it's not bad, it's just different, and 'different' is exactly what I was expecting. Really, as a whole this milk is largely indistinguishable from a different brand of dairy chocolate milk I've had previously."

[gulps down the rest of the glass]

"I mean, you know, it's not like the flavor on its own is preferable to what I'm already used to — God knows this costs a bit more as well — but I would gladly only drink chocolate milk that tastes slightly 'off' if it means less animal abuse. This hardly counts as any sort of sacrifice."

[drinks two more glasses]

"Honestly, I take back what I said, this is just good. Why on Earth isn't this just the standard milk already‽ Why was this stuff just hidden away in some random corner of the grocery store, where I nearly missed it completely‽ I mean I know the answer already, I'm just saying it's messed up..."

Yes! Plus, it doesn't spoil as fast. It's more deserving of our trust. Oat milk too and it's cheaper then soy where I live. I now mostly remember cow milk for the bad taste when it spoils or when you pour spoiled milk on your cereal and have to trash it. Don't miss it at all. Glad to be rid of it even. Though I know it's a privilege with how heavily subsidized cow milk is. If it weren't for that, the alternatives would be cheaper. Also, I like cows, but/and it's weird to think where their milk has been.
