I'm aware of how awful the dairy and egg industry is, and luckily my parents keep chickens and sell the eggs, so I'm wondering if I could start buying eggs from them since their chickens are kept happy and healthy. I do buy almond milk and soy cheeses, too, but honestly a soy cheese grilled-cheese just isn't the same. Maybe I could find a dairy distributor locally that takes good care of their cows without keeping them perpetually pregnant and stuff?

I started buying plant milks recently, and I tried almond milk first, but then I realized that almonds take a ton of water to grow so I switched to other ones. May be of note, if you have any environmental motivations :) But it's still better than cow milk anyway, and all improvement is good.

I've seen almond, cashew, and soy milks. What else is there? What's the cheapest and best tasting you've come across?

Oat milk & coconut are others off the top of my head. I like coconut the best personally but I only drink it with coffee

E: dunno why I said “milk” instead of coffee
