    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)
