Why would anyone send me this email?
“The Creamiest Plant-Based Milk, Good For You and the Planet!” It’s also “ethically sound.” At any moment I was expecting it to use the word “iconic.” But “plant-based” is just as bad. I don’t know how I would’ve reacted to “Iconic Plant-Based Milk.”
Hello–anybody home? If it’s “plant-based,” then it isn’t milk, is it? Milk comes from cows, or other domesticated mammals. Or the baby’s mother. Words have to mean something, or else they’re useless. But they’ve also been pushing “cockroach milk.”
They’re offering me free “editorial samples.” No thanks.
This stuff is not milk. Stop lying. I know we’re used to it from advertisers, but that doesn’t mean we should believe it. And not call it out.
P.S.–In what way is this swill “good for the planet”? Or can you just say stuff like that without even the most tenuous obligation to prove it?
Are they talking about coconut milk? I don’t know, but I will use whatever milk I want and I’m sure you will too, so there.
I don’t remember what this stuff is made of, but I don’t think it’s coconut.
“Plant-based” does not usually mean what it used to mean. Lab-created bio-synthetic milk (like lab meat) does not use milk proteins from cows or coconuts but fungus and yeast proteins of unknown origins because it’s a trade secret. Ingredient terminology is deceptive. I don’t know if it’s out in markets yet. It won’t be clearly labeled for what it is (like lab meat.)
I won’t eat anything grown in a test tube. The WEF, as my mother used to say, can go cly themselves.
The only milk from plants I know of are poisonous..
Don’t give them ideas.
