      Not only that, but even in 1755, plant milks were already in the dictionary

      1. Emulsion made by contusion of seeds. Pistachoes, so they be good and not musty, joined with almonds in almond milk, or made into a milk of themselves, like unto almond milk, are an excellent nourisher.

      Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary, 1775

      I suppose so, if even the dictionary is fine with being wrong. Luckily the UK and Germany have fixed this - here’s hoping for the US next!

        Uh the UK supreme court also prohibited Oatly from even using “post-milk generation” as a slogan. It’s 100% dairy industry pressure because they hate competition rather than because they actually care about labeling

          I care about labeling though, and I can overall be very happy with the overall effects of the ruling while also disagreeing with the specifics or even the reason the change happened.
