How do you milk an almond?
Vanity

Posted on 12/15/2019 5:02:05 AM PST by tired&retired

It's time for the Department of Agriculture to adopt strict rule as France has done on its products such as champagne.

Today's environment of calling any white juice "milk" or plant based products "meat" has gone too far. The line is getting blurred further as cells of cows and fish are being replicated in tanks and being sold as the "real" thing.

We need to protect our farmers.

It’s an easy google but it’s Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.

It is the chronic form of Guillain–Barré syndrome. Recently it was suggested that Franklin Roosevelt didn’t have polio but possibly Guillain–Barré syndrome. The chronic form is not as bad.

If we had a “benevolent dictatorship” common sense would have it demand such drinks as “Almond Milk” be officially, by their makers, re-labeled “Almond Juice”, and the same for Soy and all the other non-mamillian drinks falsely labeled “Milk”.

Almonds are grown by farmers.

Yeah let’s get the deep state involved in regulating the word Milk.

That will make America Great Again.

If Dairy farmers need to regulate the word Milk, then they should have no problem if their own business is regulated into extinction.

Yeah, until the Orange growing lobby demands that they be given the exclusive right to use the word Juice.

Do you really favor this kind of idiotic word regulation?

. I thought this was Free Republic. Sounds like Regulated Republic.

We had dairy goats years ago, but for some reason goat milk tastes like turpentine to me.

I tried it in cheese, baked in various dishes, it still tastes horrible to me.

It’s something about my taste buds.

When the children would get colicky and sick from cow’s milk, or as a breast milk replacement. we always used goat’s milk.

1. I said if we had a “benevolent dictatorship”, and if you did not get that I was not arguing we should have such a government, that’s too bad.

2. As far as orange growers go, they have no monopoly on juice. Every other plant-based drink drawn from the liquid essence of plants, whether they be fruits - orange, apple, grape ect,, or vegetables - tomato, beet, carrot, cabbage ect., or other plants uses the term juice. It is not owned by the orange, so your point is actually rather silly.

3. Juice - the liquid obtained from or present in fruit or vegetables.

4. Fruit - the fleshy product of a tree or other plant that contains the seed and can be eaten as food.

5. The almond is the hard shelled FRUIT of the almond tree.

Game, set and match

Yes, people can freely adopt terms they want, even when they (a) make no sense, and (b) work against common meanings that makes communication understood by those common meanings. As opposed to: “Son: Daddy, what is milk? Dad: Whatever you want to call milk is milk; milk does not mean anything particular.

I have no experience with that product.

But I wondered if there wee other ingredients in the milk ( or hormones?? ) that contributed to my problem. So I stay away from all the dairy I once consumed.

My insurance did not cover a lactose test and I have heard that the test is wrong in many instances. I didn’t have the test at the hospital but did a trail run with no dairy and the problem cleared up.

'How do you milk an almond?'

I dunno, but I've never seen an unhappy almond afterwards.

This thread has some good jokes, but here is something sad.

As we learn about our bacterial biome and how if affects our health, digestion, longevity, moods, and mental health, we learn how important butyrate is, which is made for us by our little bugs in us. To supplement, you need healthy dairy. Not from nuts or grains. Real milk. Vegans are doubling down on ill health.

(Though obviously those allergic/sensitive or keeping kosher do need milk substitutes for recipes - I do this all the time for meat meals.)

RE: Coconut milk.

the thick coconut milk in the Philippines is made here by shredding fresh coconut meat into tiny pieces and then boiling them in water then extracting the pulp. We use a special grater for this, but modern kitchens use a blender.

recipes how to do this using packaged coconut can be found on line.and on youtube. A lot of work, which is why most folks in cities just buy it in a can

we don't drink it, but use it in sauces.

But a favorite drink sold by vendors here is “buko juice”: also called “coconut water”....you take the young coconut and open it, mix the fluid inside with some of the very soft pulp and sugar and drink it.

it is thinner than the “milk”, only slightly milky.

It is sold on the streets, and the vendors often “offer” to climb up our coconut trees to harvest the young coconuts (before they ripen and fall on someone’s head).

But the elites are starting to push it as a health food.

Yeah. We cook with it. Use it in cakes cookies. Or any place milk is called for. I buy canned Goya C milk or half gallon ‘fresh’ in cartons at Whole Foods.
Don’t think I’ll be heading for the tropics anytime soon.

Thanks
