Extra for Oat Milk? Ask Gail’s to Drop the Surcharge

Conscious coffee drinkers are increasingly choosing plant milk for animals and the environment. Yet Gail’s is falling behind industry standards by charging extra for vegan milk. You shouldn’t have to pay more to make animal-friendly, sustainable choices. If anything, cow’s milk should be more expensive to accurately reflect the true cost to animals and the planet!

Give the People What They Want

From oat flat whites to soya lattes, demand for plant milks is increasing and growing as people opt for the healthier, kinder, tastier, and more sustainable choice. It’s high time Gail’s listened to its caffeine-obsessed customers.

Cow’s Milk Is Cruelty

Treated as milk-producing machines, gentle cows on dairy farms are selectively bred to produce unnaturally high volumes of milk. Their calves are taken away from them within 24 hours, causing grief and anguish to both mother and calf. Mother cows often bellow and call out frantically for their young for several days afterwards.

Cows confined for milk may spend their entire lives standing on concrete floors. They are fed unnatural, high-protein diets – including dead chickens, pigs, and other animals – to make them produce a higher milk yield. A British cow today typically produces 4.5 times more milk than she would need to feed her calf. As a result, these cows frequently suffer from painful udder inflammation or mastitis, which leads to higher levels of pus and bacteria in their milk.

The strain of continual pregnancy exhausts cows and often leaves them lame. When they are worn out and can no longer produce such high volumes of milk, they are sent to the abattoir and killed.

Healthier, Better Choices

Humans who drink cow’s milk have an increased risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and many other ailments.

In addition to being bad for our health, it’s also terrible for the planet’s health. Cow’s milk has a much higher environmental impact than plant milk. It emits around three times as much greenhouse gas, uses around 10 times as much land, and two to 20 times as much water.

Charging more for plant milk could deter consumers from making the right choice. Please urge Gail’s to drop the surcharge and price vegan milk the same as cow’s milk.

Dear {contact_data~title} {contact_data~firstName} {contact_data~lastName}:

It’s disappointing that Gail’s still charges more for plant milk even though many major coffee brands, including Starbucks, have dropped the extra charge.

Your discount for customers bringing their own cups seeks to promote sustainable choices, but a surcharge penalises them. I noticed on your website that you attribute the extra charge to cow’s milk being cheaper, but you could level it out by increasing the cost of drinks made with dairy milk.

Mother cows often bellow and call out frantically for their young for several days afterwards. Cow’s milk also emits around three times as much greenhouse gas, uses around 10 times as much land, and two to 20 times as much fresh water. If anything, cow’s milk should be more expensive to accurately reflect the true cost to animals and the planet!

Please make life easier for coffee-deprived customers by making all our little cups of happiness equal in price.

Thank you for your time.
