    This sounds a bit like people demanding that almond milk should be called “nut juice”.

    Also: Buffalo wings have no buffalo.

      The wild part about the almond milk thing is that is existed since the middle ages and was used as a dairy milk substitute even back then and it’s been called almond milk for nearly the whole time. And yet now it’s somehow a problem.

      You mean America’s dairy farmers?

        If you look closel, instead of calling it nut juice they just invented a new word: Almondmilk. Check your fridge (if you chug nut juice). The lawyer that came up with this deserves a dinosaur sticker on their hand.

        Mostly, yeah, but there are also kind of meatmaxxing/proteinmaxxing types that usually simp for the dairy industry, too.

        An example would be any fucking moron that calls other people “soy boys” - highly likely to be one of these people that take issue with almond/soy/oat milk…
