Is it really possible to replace milk entirely with nut juices? Even for cooking? My wife is insisting I take this step, so... :shrug:

Nope.

Why'd you want to anyway? The nut juices are loaded with questionable additives and they're expensive as fuck. It's a step backwards, not forwards.

Enjoy your chalk, it's #4 on the ingredient list.

Unless you eat cake daily, what's the fucking point? Milk is a minor ingredient in most cakes, if present at all. If you mean all milk derivates, well, I guess I could suggest you some divorcing tutorial video.

Jesus christ. It's used in tons of different baking applications (cakes, breads, etc.). Milk + roux makes Bechamel, which is the base for a great many different kinds of sauces. It goes in mac and cheese, custard, pudding, ice cream.....

Ahh right, mac and cheese, how could i forget that delicacy. Bechamel aside, milk can be easily substituted in most of those. Milk bread is a very niche one, cakes without it are endless, ice cream can be done with water (implying you can even do it).

>Bechamel aside,
You do realize how incredibly important Bechamel is in cooking, right? You write "bechamel aside" like it's no big deal. You have that backwards, it's incredibly prevalent and important. Well, if you do any actual cooking. If you just want to microwave tendies then I suppose you're fine.

Don't bother with the nut juices. Work around it rather than trying to replace it. If you're talking about like milk with cereal or macaroni and cheese or something, you're a grown fucking man. Why are you eating children's food?

Of course it's an argument, you stupid fuck.
Growing ANYTHING in California, a state that experiences crippling droughts every fucking year, is of course going to be water intensive.

Not what I said, though.
If you are farming in an area with plenty of rainfall you won't have to water your crops with precious water from tap or well.
If all the water you need for both cattle and almonds falls from the sky for free it is no longer an issue which one of the two absorbs the most of it.

Milk has some functional proteins which could occasionally be relevant, but most of the time fatty water should do.

I think anon is more focusing on the idea that even if almonds (which are almost exclusively grown in california) have a large water requirement the relative comparison to cattle is silly in a broader sense because that may be grown in places that require less groundwater or freshwater diversion because they get more rain. I don't think you two actually disagree
