August 22 is World Plant Milk Day — a perfect time to try something new and kind!

Most people don’t know how cruel the dairy industry is to cows. Baby calves are taken from their mothers, and cows are forced to make milk until they can’t anymore. It’s sad and unfair.

But the good news is we don’t need to drink cow’s milk. There are so many tasty plant-based milks to choose from — like oat, almond, soy, rice, and coconut. You can pour them on cereal, use them in coffee, or bake with them just like dairy milk. There are also plant-based ice creams, yogurts, and cheeses to try!

Trying plant-based milk is a simple way to be kinder to animals and still enjoy all your favorite foods.

Let’s use World Plant Milk Day to make a change that helps animals and the planet. Give it a try — you might be surprised how good it tastes!
