What combination of words would you like to be used to describe these new foods?
Do you feel the same way about soy milk or almond milk?
- dymk 7y agoThe milk industrial complex feels very strongly about it, and has litigated ruthlessly to prevent non-mammal produced milk from having the word milk in it
- untog 7y agoAnd yet actual real-life customers are absolutely fine with it and aren't confused.
- dymk 7y agoExactly, it’s existing entrenched industries who are worried; this is altogether good for consumers though
- sethammons 7y agoExcept they are confused; they just ignore it. I don't think many almond milk buyers have a clue as to how it is made. They chuckle at "Never seen no titties on no almond" and buy it because it is apparently healthier.
- greglindahl 7y ago... and that's despite the fact that non-cow milks have been around and called "milk" for many centuries. For example, almond milk has been used in Western European cooking on Fridays and during Lent.
- NoGravitas 7y agoAlmond milk also was a staple of European baking for centuries before pasteurization, because you couldn't always know that you would have fresh milk on hand when you needed it for baking.
