Stop calling almond, soy and rice milks 'milk,' 25 members of Congress say

The Los Angeles Times ^ | December 23, 2016 | Associated Press

[Rennes Templar]

They don’t want them to not call it milk because it’s not cow’s milk. The issue is it’s cutting in on the dairy industry.

[IronJack]

Glad to see the hired help is taking on the big issues ...

[Larry Lucido]

They milk taxpayers.

[SoFloFreeper]

I disagree. This really isn’t the business of Congress.

People are not morons.

[48th SPS Crusader]

Somebody got big campaign donations from the Dairy Industry!

[Wuli]

How about a bill taking away the title “Congressman/Woman” from all representatives that submit nonsense legislation?

Get ye to a dictionary.

Glad to see our representatives are hard at it.
They must have got tired beating up on Dr. Oz.

Chicken fajita is next on the chopping block with Buffalo Wings.

When my daughter recently made chicken fajita I told her progressives call that cultural appropriation. She said "their nuts".

If local DC pizzerias don’t list it on their menu, its not from a mammal.

Used in an effort to denigrate those making a product, about which the speaker/writer is clueless.

Milk cows and government

CHRISTIAN:

You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor.

SOCIALIST:

You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor.

REPUBLICAN:

You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So what?

DEMOCRAT:

You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous.

PROGRESSIVE:

You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point that you must sell them both in order to support someone else who already got a free cow from the government.

FASCIST:

You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you the milk. You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage.

CAPITALIST:

You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.

[a fool in paradise]

The udder absurdity of it all...

[trebb]

You would think they have more important things to worry about - since they clearly state they are made with soy and/or almonds, only a fool would consider it to be false advertising - especially since the users know what they are getting and use them as if they were milk.

No wonder we have fallen so far.
