Have you tried minding your own business instead?
In one of the dumbest things I’ve seen in a while, a senator wants to keep people who make dairy alternatives from using the words associated with dairy, like milk, yogurt, etc.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

In all fairness, I’ve never seen a soybean with titties.

So what do you call the stuff involved in breast-feeding?

He’s a senator from the land of Cheese.
This is the same kind of trade protection crap that forced buyers to mix their own yellow dye into oleomargarine during the first half of the last century.

It’s not pushing trade protection, it’s pushing honest information exchange. When I buy “milk” I want a dairy product. Not a soy alternative.
Nobody is suggesting that non-dairy alternative not be sold – only that labels are accurate. You should not get to sell your product – calling it “milk” – when it is *not milk*.
Yes, consumers should read labels. I do. But more than once we’ve seen sham products almost make it into our cart.
Pushing for honest advertising is smart.

I don’t know, “Nut Juice” has a certain ring to it… Certainly more appealing than Almond Milk.

I don’t think anyone is being fooled into thinking Soy “milk” is cow milk, Patrick.

In 1916, James L. Kraft applied for the first U.S. patent for a method of making processed cheese. Competitors lobbied unsuccessfully to require processed cheese be labeled “embalmed cheese”
