Right, perfectly reasonable. I'm still sort of on the fence.
I guess where I would respond though is: Most of what you're talking about are singular rare-ish exceptions. We're talking about a very common staple here (which means, yes, there will be confusion of some sort, perhaps in baking?)
I think my reasoning here is, we're not calling margarine "plant butter," we're not talking about "tapioca/potato eggs" (had to look that one up.)
Overall, even, I feel like things would go smoother if we used some other word, e.g. I know "Silk" is trademarked, but something along those lines.
- vineyardmike 5y ago> we're not calling margarine "plant butter, I know people that just call this "butter" so idk if i follow. Also no one complains about "Peanut Butter" being not butter :)
- jrm4 5y agoIn my experience, people call the dairy stuff "butter" and the plant substitute "margarine" rather consistently. But yeah, good point about the peanut butter.
