13. Different brands have a different taste to them.

None of them really taste anything like cow's milk. They taste like soy milk. There are vegan milk substitutes that taste more like cow's milk but I think cow's milk is an acquired taste.

My wife is lactose intolerant and that's common in our family so milk isn't on our regular shopping list.

Worldwide, about 65% of people experience some form of lactose intolerance as they age past infancy, but there are significant differences between populations and regions. As few as 5% of northern Europeans are lactose intolerant, while as many as 90% of adults in parts of Asia are lactose intolerant.

I've also got some animosity towards the factory farm dairy industry.
