    Among those who do not use plant-based alternatives, 54% said they dislike the taste, while 44% pointed to the price.

    Honestly never tasted any plant based alternative except coconut milk because of the price. Can’t say I drink milk through, because of the price too. I do use it in cooking. Where I live soy and oat milk is four or five times more expensive than the cheapest cow milk, last time I checked at least.

      That difference seems a lot higher than most of the world. Were you looking at price per unit volume or price per whatever the container was? I’d be really surprised if there’s a difference that high

      There is also the option of making plant-milks yourself. Price can be a lot cheaper that way by orders of magnitude. (Though may take some experimentation to get good tasting recipes, so don’t necessarily judge off of the first taste)

        Things are more expensive where I live, especially dairy as we don’t have local milk. I meant for 1litre the price
