The Washington Post reports that the Food and Drug Administration will forbid the use of the word milk in the names of plant-based products: “as the head of the FDA said last week, ‘an almond doesn’t lactate.’”

[My milk: Silk, soy.]

  1. Hm. Kindness doesn't lactate either. Perhaps we should no longer say "milk of human..."?

  2. Upon hearing this news, my artist wife fired off a sketch of a mother almond breastfeeding her baby almond. It was quite heartwarming.

  3. That’s sweet (no pun intended!). There’s almond butter as well, which contains no butter. And no one’s confused.
