Comment on UK | Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to label vegan drinks
jol@discuss.tchncs.de 9 hours agoUnless you’re drinking milk from the cow’s tit, your milk is very mucg an industrial product to make it shelf stable and consistent. People have a totally wrong idea of what real milk feels or tastes like or what’s involved in its production. At least oat milk is literally just filtered porridge you can make at home.

Absolutely! I am not pro-dairy; it’s production is definitely an immoral practice. I am not in favor of this decision because it is pro-dairy, but because it is pro-consumer. For me, the same consumer protections that prevent me from buying vegan cheese when I mean to buy dairy cheese are the same consumer protections that prevent me from buying cheez-whiz when I mean to buy dairy cheese. The consumer protections that allow people to make informed decisions that I find morally reprehensible are the same consumer protections that allow me to make informed decisions that I find morally superior. I like this decision because I feel like I won, even though the evil dairies also won.
