"Chicken" and "Pork"? Sure, understandable... I guess. If they were going after, "Milk" that would be a whole other thing.
They did this in Germany! Oat milk can't legally be called "milk", so it's instead "oat drink".
That seems ridiculous to me considering coconut milk has been called as such since the 1700s and I haven't seen a coconuts nipples.
Happy now?
I am not!
It absolutely is, especially since there are products with "milk" in their name that aren't edible (e.g. "Scheuermilch", apparently scouring cream in English). It's nothing but populism and lobbying.
And almond milk is almost 1000 years old, and Middle-English called it "almonde mylk"

So yeah, Big Dairy propaganda
