@[email protected]@[email protected] It’s not just USA. I’m Brazilian and non-cow dairy/milk is more expensive than cow dairy/milk. I don’t know the current prices (it’s been a while since I went to a supermarket) but 1 liter of cow milk was something around BRL 3.50 (consider 1 BRL = 5.50 USD) while the same amount of oat milk costs more than BRL 10.00. Soy milk is slightly “cheaper”, costing around BRL 6.00 if I recall correctly. It’s worth mentioning that they’re are produced nationally.
US-American subsidies and food culture politics are so deranged that expensive animal lactation is cheaper to the consumer than simple plant extracts.
