That's like the dairy lobbyists not wanting the vegetable milk products to feature the word "milk" because people might buy them by accident.

I agree with them. I don't want to buy

~Vegetable~ Milk only to find out it's not a dairy product.

It's clearly written on them in big caps "soy" or "oat". If you buy it by "accident", it's your fault.

Wait... but I always drink plenty of... (checks label) ...Malk?

We should aim for the middle and call it "cow nipple juice" soy can be "soy white water"
