Farmers Say Because There Are No Teats on Almonds, Can't Be Called “Almond Milk”

Prescriptive linguists are losers. Descriptive linguists are winners. Almond milk is called almond milk because it's milk and it's from almonds.

They should read more books and use less time complaining:

>"to stroke; to milk," in reference to the hand motion involved in milking an animal.

>exploit or defraud by taking small amounts of money over a period of time.

There's no welfare for their animals, so they can't talk of animal welfare then. Just as ridiculous.

Taking just the naming into account or listing other things with milk in their name is missing the point. Those are not sold as direct competition to dairy milk. Looking up how those nut milks are made, we might as well call it almond juice ou pecan juice. If almond milk is to be sold as an alternative to cow milk, and most importantly marketed as such, then butter can be sold as an alternative jelly for people with diabetes.

Better yank all the skin cream off the shelves too.

Coconut milk.

Milk of magnesia.
