I’m now starting to believe that images like these are the reason plant-based milk alternatives aren’t allowed to be called milk in Germany
It clearly has nothing to do with the dairy lobby pushing hard everywhere to prevent people from switching to ecologically and humanely better alternative because they don’t want to lose the fat subsidies they get from the government.
They try to push these legislations under the guise that it could induce the consumer in error, my ass.
Let’s blame fun cartoons instead.
Let’s not forget the cost with their lives the cows have to bear for us to get milk.
Forcefully impregnated, their babies taken away to be slaughtered as veal or to become milk cows. And all that for a fraction of their lifespan only to be slaughtered when their milk production starts to decline…

At least sometimes there is a bit of push back: https://www.just-food.com/news/eu-rejects-dairy-lobby-proposals-to-restrict-plant-based-alternatives/
I appreciate the passion, my comment was still just a joke though.
That being said, I saw oat milk yesterday at the same price as cow milk. In other words, not even the financial incentive is left for me to buy cow milk.
Hey thanks for the precision. The frustration was not directed at you directly, moreso at the argument I thought you were making, I apologize for that. I have just heard this fallacious argument so many time in real life used seriously that I react strongly to it.
NGL spy milk is fire in coffee
I still (currently) prefer milk (lactose free (specifically dairy gold fit)) in my tea though
Spy milk just has the wrong texture for tea IMO
Edit: Meant soy but it got autocorrected to spy. I’m going to leave it as it’s too funny to not.
I guess words can’t be used in different context, especially when the plant-based alternatives are drop-in replacement for animal milks and the term has been used for hundreds of year to describe both plant-based milky substances and animal secretions.
I have a few questions, but I’m not sure I want the answers.
