I’ll probably stick to asking for oat milk instead of “porridge water” or whatever the new mandated name will be. To be honest I do think calling it “milk” lets them inflate the price when it is essentially porridge water.

    Yeah, on the surface, it looks like evil cow farming lobbyists trying to force the competition to use a stupid name.
    But on the other hand, without a protected name, what stops corporations from lacing their milk with 20% oat milk and hiding it in the ingredient list to save cost?

      I’d buy that. If you want to replace 20% of my animal product with plants and can do an ok job I’m down.

      As long as it’s labeled properly and you don’t have to do anything crazy, it’s at the very least something I’ll try.
