Mayo, wings, butter: 'Fake milk' is the latest food fight

NEW YORK (AP) — Is "fake milk" spoiling the dairy industry's image?

Dairy producers are calling for a crackdown on the almond, soy and rice "milks" they say are masquerading as the real thing and cloud the meaning of milk. A group that advocates for plant-based products, the Good Food Institute, countered this week by asking the Food and Drug Administration to say terms such as "milk" and "sausage" can be used as long as they're modified to make clear what's in them.

It's the latest dispute about what makes a food authentic, many of them stemming from developments in manufacturing practices and specialized diets.

DiGiorno's frozen chicken "wyngz" were fodder for comedian Stephen Colbert. An eggless spread provoked the ire of egg producers by calling itself "mayo." And as far back as the 1880s, margarine was dismissed as "counterfeit butter" by a Wisconsin lawmaker.

If it didn't come out of a teat, it isn't milk. Almonds aren't mammals, neither are soybeans.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

If that coconut has teats and feeds the milk to its young it's a mammal. Otherwise, no, whatever you call it, it isn't milk.

Since I'm lactose intolerant Almond Milk has been a godsend.  It's actually quite good.  Guess they'll be renaming it now....oh great.

All they have to do is put the word 'substitute' underneath "Almond Milk". It will be the same stuff whatever they call it, and I'd wager the manufacturer will make it easy enough for those who like it to find it.
I do see where confining the term "milk" to actual animal products, labeled by animal, at least preserves some meaning for the word "milk". Otherwise, someone could dump chalk dust in water and call it "rock milk" (with more calcium!), and your kid could come home telling you they learned soybeans were mammals..
