How many gallons of Milk do you go through a week?

$2.79 seems normal to me.

But on average, I buy zero gallons of milk a month.

I wish I could still regularly drink milk. But it wrecks my insides, so I havent bought milk in probably 15 years.

Have you tried Fairlife? My son was diagnosed with IBS recently but he loves milk. Started buying that for him and it doesn't bother him at all. Tastes good too, only one I've ever found that wasn't "regular" milk that I could tolerate, though I stick with the regular bc of the price.

My family of 4 goes through about 4 gal a week. I do know a family of five that buys 9-10 a week. It's better than pop, I suppose

Valley Forge is a national park and I'm pretty sure the area surrounding Gettysburg is as well

Although Valley Forge is run and maintained by the National Park Service, it is properly designated as a National Historic Park as opposed to National Park such as Yellowstone.

previously, I drank fairlife. I found it to be very good. However, I recently switched to unsweetened MALK. It’s not dairy but IMO tastes even better then fairlife. There’s two varieties I like. One is in a blue bottle and the other is in a beige bottle. Again, both are unsweetened but taste phenomenal. I’ve only been able to find it at Whole Foods and recently it’s been sold out a lot. I guess others are finding out about it.

I know you want to stick with dairy milk @ojb81 but give this one a try. You might like it.

Ah well, semantics got me, I guess. I just know I've been there and there are signs that just say national park

Yep. The NPS manages lots of different titles areas. I was pulling Solomon and saying you were both partially right.

Yes, National Parks. 19 of them.

Pennsylvania has 121 state parks, 19 national parks, and seven National Heritage Areas. You can wander to any quadrant of the state and find a concentration of national and state parks, each worth exploring for their own reasons. The Laurel Highlands alone has five national parks and eight state parks in its 3,000-mile region.

Press a grape and it is juice press an almond and it is milk? Sounds like deceptive marketing.

Actually they don't press em to get the "milk" out. There is no milk to get out. The "milk" is more than likely just starches that leech out of the almonds during the process they use to make this "milk".

The way they make almonds into "Almond milk" is by soaking the almonds in a lot of water...a lot of water!

According to one source, a single almond will require about 1.1 gallons of water to grow, and one half-gallon carton of almond milk contains anywhere from 30 to a whopping 225 almonds.

Don't worry, I did the math for you, and in the most depressing word problem ever, found that this means between 33 and 248 gallons of water go into producing just a half-gallon of almond milk.

I'll let that sink in for a second, before I remind you that 99% of almonds grown in the United States are grown in California, currently one of the most drought-afflicted regions of the country. If growing one of the most water-intensive crops in one of the most water-deprived areas seems like a bad idea to you, you're absolutely right, since our nation's current rate of almond consumption will most likely far outstrip our ability to produce them by a wide margin in the coming years.
