I havent found soy milk anywhere lately.
A good scientific cite would be great, last time I saw one, Almond Milk was not better than Milk for water usage and when you add in location, location, location, a lot worse.
Weirdly, that’s not the reason, but someone posted that in Scotland, it’s against the law to use oat milk in a latte.
And this is a country where you’re allowed to put a Mars Bar in a deep fat fryer.
Not at all. Would you like pork products labeled as beef? It is a labeling issue. They even had a court case about Grapenuts (some grape sugar, but no grapes, and no nuts) but they won as it wasn’t Grape- nuts, it was one word, which is a fantasy word, like tuttifruity, which also contains no fruit.
“Almond milk” contains no milk. And it differs quite a bit in nutrition.
Truth in Labeling is an EXCELLENT law.
Massive surplus this year, due to over-production, supply chain, and perhaps no sales to Russia. CA Almond growers are wasting massive amount of water in a very dry year.
True, but och, laddie: ye canna make a latte withoat milk!
I think the name Almond Milk simply implies that it can be used in place of Milk Milk. If anyone out there in the populace thinks that someone is squeezing cow’s milk from an almond, we’re in a lot worse shape than I figured.
The word “Milk” in the term “Almond Milk” is entirely harmless and not misleading.
There has never been such a thing as almond milk, soy milk, oat milk. To quote Lewis Black: No teat, no milk. 
It should really be called soy juice, almond juice. That’s not as appetizing sounding, but it’s what it is.
Almond milk isn’t milk, so I have no problem whatsoever with a rule against labeling it as such.
On the other hand, peanut butter isn’t butter (neither is almond butter, apple butter, etc.), and that doesn’t seem to be a problem.
What about “cream” (as opposed to “creme”)—is that word restricted to the actual dairy product?
What about “cheese”—can there be non-dairy cheese?
Also, are “they” going after all of the other milk alternatives, or just the pesky almonds?
This is a perfect example of how silly this entire fight is.
Thank you! I thought y’all were slipping!
Also, what the fuck does any of this have to do with the Constitution?
To, you sure it just means it can be used in place of milk-milk. That’s what it means to me, also. But I guarantee there are plenty of people who don’t think that actual milk is being squeezed from a cow but instead that hazelnut, pecan and almond milks are similar to chocolate, strawberry and banana milks. Not “milks” that are made from those nuts but cow’s milk flavored by those nuts.
As for peanut butter, I suppose that came about because we spread them all with a knife?? Of course, you don’t have to spread them to eat them…
We’d better rename it, but not til we get almond butter first! Almond-paste, peanut-paste. We’ve got to be literal with this, I guess.
From a country where they put an oil-in-water emulsion into an aerosol can and call it Easy Cheese.
But they were a step ahead of the feds, because they called it “Cheez”. Perhaps the almond milk makers should just change the spelling to reflect how so many dear people pronounce it: “Melk”
Almond Melk
Just go all the way and call it Elmond Malk, then you can make it from wood pulp.
To be fair, there’s usually some sort of whey solids or other legit dairy stuff mixed into aerosol propelled chemical slurry. Spray cheez isn’t entirely devoid of nutritional value.
I’m waiting for spray almond cheez.
Won’t someone think of the coconut milk?
