Well yeah, we opted for `milk` because it's easier and I do call it milk in my everyday usage if that comforts you. I did get caught up in the post I replied to though, so I apologize for using a degrading sounding name for milk.

My point is, milk is not as clear cut as you think it is: there is cow milk, goat milk, sheep's milk, coconut milk, in German we even have a type of cleaning product that we call a variation of milk (Scheuermilch) ... but almond milk is too much for the everyday consumer? Come on, at least be honest.

Also, yeah I'm sure I enjoyed my mother's titty juice, and I never thought I'd write that sentence. It was good enough for the time being and excellent in my development (I assume), but I have since evolved and moved on to other things without looking back. I'm sure there is a metaphor in there somewhere ...



There's intent too. All of the Almond Milk I buy has the word "Almond" on the package with pictures of almonds. The packages of meat substitutes tend not to be so explicit.
