Oh shit I knew I was missing something. How could I forget soy milk lol. It's hard to think with depression...
Edit: USA
Yea I meant plant-based “milks” (I know they’re now called “beverages” but I haven’t come around to it just yet).
They've been called plant milk for centuries. The whole "beverage" thing is from labeling laws lobbied for by the dairy industry. It doesn't reflect how people have speak today nor how they have for centuries (you can find medieval recipes for almond milk that call it almond milk)
Yeah, I’m also not a fan of the dairy lobby coming for my “plant milk” label. I’m in the US, where AFAIK nothing has stuck. But I believe in the EU they’ve now officially had to implement the “beverage” label (please correct me if I’m wrong!), which kinda sucks imo but whatever. Despite what the dairy industry thinks, it’s not going to stop people buying plant milks.
