I hate how they can obfuscate the fact that they're not dairy. Via their labels and shelf placement. I've bought them on accident. It's always obvious to me on

  You might be surprised to learn that "milk" and "cheese" have been used to refer to non-dairy products in many cultures and places over thousands of years. In Western Europe, it's tied to meatless Fridays and Lent, so it's a religious freedom issue. And in many other religions worldwide, too. Sorry you were confused! Poor behavior by your grocery store.

    Yea, but aren't those items obviously not milk or cheese?

      Almond milk? It's kind of like the shitty non-fat milk from powder that I drank as a kid. If I hadn't become lactose intolerant after I turned 50, I wouldn't touch almond milk unless I was making a Renaissance recipe. Given that I wanted to use it for cappuccino, I had some fun learning about the history of almond milk.
