This is a psa announcement

@HootyTheNightOwl That is what the ruling on standards is about. To say that milk is an animal based product and that plant based liquids are not milks. Which is accurate.

@HootyTheNightOwl Almond milk does not exist because almonds don't have nipples.

@MethDozer Only in America do they find ways of complicating what once was a simple system!!!

I thought that good old logic would have told most people that anything that isn't derived from an animal wouldn't be milk as they know it, without any rulings to verify the fact.

I guess that genetically modified ketchup is next on the list, then???

@HootyTheNightOwl Not true. Many nations make arbitrary labeling rulings such as this.

Personally I think it is a waste of time and silly when things like Vitamins water can call themselves water.

Look, it was a big push by the amerian dairy association that brought this. They are very a fucked up group. This is just a way to stop people from looking at soy or almond milk as a viable substitute for regular milk because there are many people who do treat almond milk and soy as a substitute for milk. The bottom line is money. But it does stop people from thinking cheese can be dairy free the same way milk became. Although there is dairy free cheese it shouldn't be called that either.
