You may have a point regarding milk, but not for the meat related words in the article like steak and ribs. I can accept that "burger" has probably been general

You may have a point regarding milk, but not for the meat related words in the article like steak and ribs. I can accept that "burger" has probably been generalized already.
The real issue is making the plant stuff look like the animal stuff and then naming it that way. That's just deceptive. In that regard most of the "milks" are fake.
There is also an issue around food allergies, which can actually kill someone. Don't forget to tell people your nut-based milk isn't just dairy. It's sad that we now have to ask what's in everything because the words are starting to mean nothing.
- gaganyaan 3y agoI'm not sure why people think words are starting to change. "Almond milk" for example is a venerable term about 800 years old. I attribute this furor to a lack of English skills, but maybe there's a political angle as well, with people regurgitating the latest political rage.
