Coconut milk has been called milk since forever and nobody’s surprised a cow wasn’t involved.
This only became an issue when alternatives to meat and dairy got popular because these restrictions on naming has nothing to do with clarity and everything to do with mega farm owners wanting to crush the opposition to their racket. They don’t want to replace “oat milk” with “oat enhanced water” because they care about you, they do it because they hate competition.
That’s exactly the ridiculous premise of this discussion, and I’m tired of everyone pretending it isn’t. Everyone knows what oat milk is and what it isn’t, no-one’s getting confused. In most supermarkets, the plant-based stuff is on a separate shelf for clarity (I assume).
Someone else said it on here, but if you’re confusing plant-based stuff for meat-based stuff, you got bigger problems to worry about.
