"Stop calling it soy MILK! There's no such thing as oat MILK! Milk comes from COWS."

What should they call it, then? Oat beverage? Soy water? No, that's silly. They are, functionally, milks. That's an apt descriptor.

Ditto for other vegan alternatives.






Maybe "juice" ? "Soy juice" and "Oat juice" sound pretty good to me.

On the "Soy milk" wikipedia page, it is said that Germany and Italy use names like "soy drink" or "soy beverage".


It is much closer in taste and use to milk than it is to juice.

I see my comment got upvotes but yours is downvoted for some reason, maybe they only read the first sentence and thought you were disagreeing? (or they agree with this for meastball but not milk for some reason)
