Comment on UK | Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to label vegan drinks
OmegaMouse@pawb.social 3 weeks agoPeanut butter isn’t butter, but it’s called that because enough people agreed to call it so. It’s a useful way to referring to something that has similar properties. Likewise, if I ask for a coffee I’ll continue to ask for oat milk and not ‘oat drink’ as the latter sounds stupid.

I don’t think there’s any need to come up with a better name if we have one that works perfectly well already. Maybe I’d be ok with something else, provided it was cooler than ‘spod’ :p

No, I want to overthrow cow milk and destroy that industry. So I call all milks “milk” except cow milk, which I call cow juice.
