The FDA previously found that no one is confused about where almond milk comes from.

 @872ab8e1 Almond Milk comes from DuPont - good things from chemistry. 
 @872ab8e1 I use face milk which is a liquid type of face mositurizer. It doesn't contain any milk because I'm vegan. 
 @872ab8e1 If it ain't milk then don't call it milk.

 @872ab8e1 it’s not pecans, is it? Just a guess. 
 @872ab8e1 I heard members of big dairy want their heads cut off, these actions confirm the fact 
 @872ab8e1 Wait you're telling me almond milk doesn't come from almond cows?? 
 @872ab8e1 

Wait until they hear about peanut butter. 
 @872ab8e1 Of course no one was ever confused.  It was always just the principle of the thing.  They can't stand that people might recognize that an alternative could exist. 
 @872ab8e1 @88dcfa17 for being annoying now, they should be hit with a rule that plant-based milks can call themselves milk but they have to call theirs something like “bovine lactation product” and must disclose whether it's manually or machine extracted and, of course, list the hormones and antibiotics administered to the animal. 
 @872ab8e1 competition is the cornerstone of a healthy free-market economy which is why corporations in america try to make it illegal 
 @872ab8e1 I made it to the second line before checking the byline. Dr. Mole is my favorite. 
 @872ab8e1 I get it. The old fashioned me says that milk comes from cows. The hip version of me knows that almond milk comes from almonds. Duh. 
 @872ab8e1 Othe non-milk milks are available:
