I think it's fair for the dairy industry to lobby for this. It's an argument of definition.

You make almond milk basically by taking almonds and blending them up with water then straining.


They could call it "milk-substitute" perhaps. Point being, it's not the same thing as milk from a cow.

Peanut butter went through a similar episode in history when Jif added a bunch of crap that wasn't peanuts to its mix.

"Jif, in an effort to overtake Skippy and Peter Pan, added sweeteners and reduced their actual peanut content to improve the flavor and increase the profit margin. According to a lab study (granted, by a lab run by Skippy’s parent company, Best Foods), Jif peanut butter contained 25 percent hydrogenated oil and only 75 percent actual peanuts. This greatly concerned the FDA and other consumer groups."

Today, you can't call a product "peanut butter" unless it's made of at least 90 percent ground up peanuts. Otherwise it has to be labeled "peanut-spread."

Oh shit, I'm so sorry CrushBug. I just realized I assumed you/y'all identify as singular. I owe you a nut milk!

*insert joke about milking my nuts here*


Funny enough, right as I started watching this, a report came on the news about a recall of Blue Diamond almond milk because it may contain.....wait for it.....MILK!

Happy Birthday Milkman! "I don't like looking back. I'm always constantly looking forward. I'm not the one to sort of sit and cry over spilt milk. I'm too busy looking for the next cow." Gordon Ramsay

The dairy farm can now sell hole milk cheaper than whole milk.

Yeah, this is augmented to make a point.
We all know the milk is created within a mother's body, created from the body fluids available. Calling it filtered blood is completely misrepresenting it. Pretty much going for the shock value to get people to stop drinking milk.

"Just filtered blood" is misleading. It's filtered, PROCESSED, blood.

This is like saying plants are just dirt, air, and water. While technically true, the biological processes in plant growth (as with milk production) create complex nutritive molecules out of simple constituents.

thanks for the love gentlemen.
these guys really brought me back to a time where we would drag our milk crates of our favorite albums to a friends house just to introduce them to new music.

music that we loved.

and these guys react in such a genuine and honest way that i found endearing.

(and yeah chaos,i wasted waaaay too much time on their channel,so i hear ya,the check is in the mail.)

Bet a friend this would make it to the top 15 due to the fact that every video with a white man using the N-word is like offering breast milk to a baby. As usual it was a good investment.

So much truth in this. My daughter in the past would squak about needing milk because what we had was 'expired'.... I refused to buy more since it was not spoiled and tasted like same day it was bought even a month past expiry.
