It's a source of strength, life, sickness, disgust, delight and deep nausea. It's fraught with climate controversy and tensions over rights, care, state power, social democracy, misogyny and outrageous colonial history. Where did we learn that strong kids drink milk?

And what does the rise and rise of oat milk - with its cringe hipster tweevertising - tell us about late capitalism?
