In 2021, it tested an oat milk default at its West Coast locations, so if customers order a latte without specifying a milk preference, it is made with oat milk rather than cow\u2019s milk. Based on the overwhelmingly positive results, Blue Bottle has expanded its oat milk default nationwide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThese food giants are posing a question to the public: how can we define a new normal?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Veganism is increasingly being imposed by stealth when they don\u2019t even tell you you aren\u2019t getting what you are actually ordering. You buy a burger, you expect beef. You buy a latte, you expect dairy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more-->&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But even with beef\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/wagonersabroad.com\/wheres-the-beef\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it might not all be beef<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhen I read the labels, I was shocked. Shocked, and a little wigged-out to be honest. In reading the fine print (in Spanish), I found that the beef we\u2019ve been buying has not been 100% beef like we\u2019re used to. Here\u2019s a small sample of what I found:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe first one shows 78% beef, water, soy protein, cornstarch, and\u2026at first I thought it was Aroma of Meat. I figured that would be a great cologne for men! Or a new deodorant! It\u2019s really just meat flavor. Back to the list\u2026preservative (E-221). E-1 through E-220 caused cancer in Spanish mice, but E-221 is A-OK! It continues with sulfites, antioxidants, flavor enhancers, dye, and maybe some traces of milk (that was probably irradiated with Polonium 210 or something). So my point is that there is a lot of Un-meat in the meat we were buying, and no wonder it tasted funny.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Make changes slow enough, and you\u2019ll cook the tofu imitation-frog before you know it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Be vigilant.
