I have 2% milk, Almond milk & Oak milk in my refridgerator.
But I don't believe Almond, Oak or any other nut, should have Milk attached to their product name.

believe in the stupidity they spew on a daily basis. Maybe the guy is lactose intolerant, I would like to see what kind of milk he has in his refrigerator.

Must be tough to be a child of this guy, how embarrassing.

6. I don't mind that these other products exist and that students should be able to choose them ...

but I think that there is no milk in Almonds or Oats or any other kind of nut.
This products should not be called milk by any stretch of the imagination.
They might look like milk, but they don't taste like milk and they're not milk.

I agree that the word MILK should be removed from anything that is not MILK (kind of false advertising).
If that means Milk of Magnesia, then so be it, but I also believe that school children should be able to select
whatever drink they want.

Sorry, I don't feel the same as others do, in this forum.

almond-milk as an example. Webster’s Dictionary states that the first use of the term coconut milk was in 1698. So even a bonehead originalist SCOTUS would have to rule in favor of vegan milk.
