[travel] The convergence of two trends

In the third world, liquids are often sold in plastic bags. This is not done out of a sense of environmental responsibility (even though the packaging is likely "greener" than almost anything you'll find in Whole Foods) but because it's the cheapest way of containing the liquid.

In the first world, there is a broad awareness of lactose intolerance and a significant interest in veganism. This has resulted in a proliferation of rice, soy, and nut milk products.

Apparently these two trends, coming from opposite ends of the socioeconomic spectrum, have finally met in the middle.
