  1. Stop going to Starbucks. Make your own at home.

  2. I'm bullshxt intolerant and I have no hope for human race

  3. Just shop elsewhere.

  4. US milk is also heavily subsidized by the government 20billion a year

  5. Make your coffee at your house. Transport it in a sustainable container. Save money, save the planet, and feel good about not making rich people richer off of bad habits

  6. Please consider going vegan!!

  7. Some non dairy mills are cheaper then regular milk

  8. Soy, Soy by products are poison they use pesticides like roundup for pest control. Roundup causes cancer. Organic does not mean pesticide free is just not being sprayed with Roundup. Look up the Alzheimer's cases coming from these soy farms.

  9. If you really care about money then make coffee at home. Or order it w/o cream..
    Please give us real stories NBC…

  10. They should be charged extra; call it the pretentious fee.

  11. Healthy can NEVER be cheaper!

    More sugar and dairy must be the cheapest!

    Why do we cause cardiac diseases with our diet? Why is the naive or ignorant public so complicit to the idea of deadly treats? Why do we serve them?

    I will never understand. We obviously do not apply science to our diet.

  12. Just deal with it or buy lactaid. Lol people nowadays cry about everything. The prices will just go up for all drinks if they remove the extra charge. You don't go to the store and complain the Angus Beef costs more lol.

  13. Well if the grocery store charges more and you don’t protest their price difference, then you have no right to throw a hissy fit about this. And honestly if you can’t afford the extra $0.50-$1 then maybe you should reevaluate your spending choices and make coffee at home because clearly your priorities are off.

  14. Ok go buy a milking cow and the same weight in almonds then you decide which is more expensive to get milk from

  15. Starbucks deserve this
    They claim to be woke
    So be woke

    Cheers from west Africa
    🦅

  16. If you can afford starschmucks you can pay for the special milk. Seriously temptest in a teapot.

  17. Or dont go to starbucks?

  18. Cry me a soy based river. Lactose intolerance is a joke that doesn’t need a punchline. Tell me your cow milk horror stories.

  19. 3rd world problems, you don’t have to buy these pricy drinks. Almond milk cost more because it takes a lot of almonds to make it and require a lot of water to grow almonds.

  20. If you go to the market plant milk costs more then dairy milk

  21. Stop giving these major corporations your hard earned money for junk food.

  22. What? My regular iced coffee with half and half increased $1…

  23. who cares? 65 cents? if you are interested in saving money, you would make coffee at home, you wouldn't be buying starbucks on your way to work. do Americans really live such empty pointless lives, that we as a society, has so much free time to worry about pointless nonsense ? jeez people, spend more time bettering your lives, and spend less time fighting over non-issues. this is seriously loser level pathetic if you actually care about things like this.
