> Little Oatly in the south of Sweden
Oatly is owned by a Chinese company so it's not very Swedish anymore. They claim bullshit like cow milk is bad and spread a lot of vegan propaganda.
It's a really crap company with crap interests.

Also, they have sponsored a festival outside Gothenburg in Sweden several times where they banned regular milk in the area, citing that it's bad for you.
I assume you mean Way out West? Oatly does seem like a good fit there so I wouldn't be surprised. That's been a vegetarian festival since 2012. Vegetarian as in they don't sell any meat. Non-vegetarians are of course welcome to party along. Oatly's marketing is quite tongue in cheek yes, it's part of their image.
Both soy and almond have bad reputations in terms of ecological impact.
If one can get the same nutrition from oat, it's a pretty big win environmentally.
But cow milk in general (and especially in Whole Milk form) is well proven to be unhealthy in the quantities usually recommended.
There’s a good reason why nobody else drinks milk like Americans do. (Who were advertised to insanely aggressively and back room dealings brought about things like making Milk a standard in US schools.) Oatly is still really bad but the root problem is that in the US we drink more milk than anyone else...and we really don’t need it.
Do you have a source on that statement? What are the quantities that are usually recommended, and by whom are they recommended?
>There’s a good reason why nobody else drinks milk like Americans do.
That's simply not true. The Scandinavian countries all consume more milk per capita than the US. Coincidentally, Scandinavia is also where Oatly is from.
Americans are 17th on milk consumption per capita: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_milk_cons...
I don't think the 16 countries above it are usually considered unhealthy.
I can make water unhealthy if I recommend high enough or low enough quantities :)
