Stop calling almond, soy and rice milks 'milk,' 25 members of Congress say
The Los Angeles Times ^ | December 23, 2016 | Associated Press

Got milk? Twenty-five members of Congress say if it's from soybeans, almond or rice, it should not be labeled as milk.

Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) and Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), leading the bipartisan charge against “fake milk,” signed a letter along with other congressional members, asking the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to investigate and take action against manufacturers of “milk” that doesn't come from cows.

I don’t understand. I’m pretty sure my soy milk comes from soy cows.

That's udder nonsense.

“Stop calling almond, soy and rice milks ‘milk,’ 25 members of Congress say”

And I say, “Stop calling this kind of nonsense ‘government’.

And who am I to make such a demand? the man in the street, the great silent majority, the common-sense resistance.

Goat’s milk does not come from cows. So is it not really “milk”? Nursing babies human breast “milk” either apparently based on these politicos. Perhaps anything other than human milk should be called animal (specific animal, if desired) milk. Biologist have called with inner juice of the coconut its “milk” (versus e.g., fiber) for a very long time. Cow’s milk doesn’t exclusively own the biologically-derived term “milk” anymore than turkey or human semen is the only “semen” that exists in the world.

You can milk anything with nipples.

On my recent visit to Mongolia, I saw people milking camels and horses. I also drank camel milk tea. And ate camel stew.

- - - -I’m dummer than a box of rocks BUT I no what milk is! WHAT REALLY TICKS ME OFF is when I go to the market
to buy a package of cow, or chicken, or pig and I CAN NOT
tell if it came from the Great USA or maybe -—china. The
local Save a Lot store is selling whole hams for .89cents
a pound. NOT a good deal if it is chinese??!! Pigs are
part of their waste disposal program.....
