Look how much pushback you see just asking people to consider milk
alternatives.

because it don't taste like milk, does it?

Erm, in many cases, 'yes'? But aren't you fed up only having the same
taste, especcially all these years after you have weaned?

and if it doesn't taste like milk, don't flipping call it milk

Here you go, I'm sure that will help alleviate your confusion.

The irony here of course is that we have comodified the lactate of
cows with a label of 'Milk' when it's no different 'a milk' (in it's
natural role) than human breast milk or whale milk.

It's the cry babies (no irony there of course) who 'complain' that you
shouldn't call anything else 'milk' when maybe what you (not me obvs)
typically refer to as 'Milk' should actually be called 'Cows Milk' (as
in the milk *from* cows (*for* calves etc)).

The only cry babies are the fanatics carving for real cow's milk, but
their 'loved ones' won't let them drink the nectar.

call it whatever it is drink

You can call it what you like but they often call stuff things to make
it easier for the thick people to understand what it is and how they
might use it. Call it 'Oat drink' and people may not reaslise you can
use it in the same way as the milk they have been stealing from calves
all these years?

Are you saying vegans are too thick to understand oaty water?

And I must have missed your complaints here about 'peanut butter' not
being made of butter (how confusing that must have been for you)

Quite, in some countries it is called peanut cheese because of issues
with being called butter

or
that your beef burger was actually made of horse meat (and very little
'meat' at that) or how 'Milk of magnesia' must have been off and
ruined your Rice Crispies?

When you use cow's milk we don't get those issues. You make things very
difficult for yourself.

Do you care about what they call the glue they use to hold together
what you think is one bit of meat is called? I mean, if it lists
Transglutaminase on the ingredients is that better than saying 'Meat
glue'?

I prefer to use egg as a binder.

and then market that as a new healthy generic option.

They have, as in 'Plant based milk' (where 'milk' is the role, not a
brand) but the only people complaining about any of this are the
people trying to defend the exploitation of animals and the criminally
stupid (defined by the hundreds of other products out there that don't
have the contents you assume).

You're the one bringing up the inappropriate use of milk. Perhaps it's
an idea to confuse those with lower intelligence it can be treated and
used as if it is real cow's milk.

I bet you would support the labeling of a packet of nuts that it 'May
contain nuts' (in case you got confused with coal nuts)?

Which goes to show the lengths a fanatical vegan will go to to lose an
argument.

Hey, if you really want to avoid all this confusion (?), pick a more
appropriate name for 'Cows milk' from this funny video ...

Yes it is funny, it shows the lengths fanatics will go to.
