LMAO. Beats me. My girlfriend is into almond milk as well. I've tried it. It seems too sweet for me, and doesn't seem much like milk either, so why the name? For some reason, it reminds me of that Parmalat stuff. Supposedly, THAT is real milk too, but it never tasted like it. I guess it's the packaging.

I read or heard that the dairy industry is trying to push to have the name “milk” only allowed to be used for liquids that come from animals mammary glands but I see some issues with that since since there are other things like “coconut water” or “cactus water” which aren’t technically H2O but are water like in appearance. If that’s the case then “milk” is the description of the appearance or color, meaning almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, etc are the “milky like substances” that can be made from almonds, soy, oat, etc. Also, dictionary definitions do define milk as:
- The white juice of a plant
- A creamy textured liquid with a particular ingredient
In addition to “an opaque white fluid rich in fat and protein secreted by female mammals for the nourishment of their young”
So almond, oat, soy “milks” are fair and legitimate names for those beverages.

LOL What you said in bold is true. I've heard that as well. Supposedly they're concerned about too many people not drinking milk. At the same time though, I've heard about "shortages" in farms not being able to keep up with milk production to meet demand (particularly organic milk - hence the price tag - notice how organic milk was under $5.00 and now it's almost $6.00 for half-gallon for most of the known brands like Organic Valley, Stonyfield, etc.?)
Baruir coffee on queens boulevard in sunnyside. Lived over there for many years and loved going in the smell of roasting coffee was powerful. Would get a small red eye or an iced coffee with their coffee ice cubes. Very good imo.

Where is the coffee sourced from? They roast all of their coffee onsite?

Not sure where it is sourced from but I’m sure they would be happy to tell you if you ever make it over there, very nice people. Truth be told I havn’t been there in a few years because I’m in Brooklyn now but I do know it is roasted on site because you can see it being done in the store and you can smell it a block away. It’s a small mom and pop operation.

<I mix a junk coffee (Folgers or Chock Full o Nuts) but not super junk (Chase & Sanborn or Maxwell House, both yecch) with either French or Italian Roast from Fairway and a small amount of El Pico (Hispanic Espresso.)>
Kefir, leave that mass produced sh** alone. Fairway is right there. Get a half pound of ground brew. I personally prefer their chocolate raspberry
