How low on avocado do you need to be to not be allowed to say that it's guac? 3.5% will certainly do it.

In Swiss, Milk alternatives like oat milk, aren't allowed to contain "milk" in the name, because they're not milk.

Honestly, I think thats just nonsense.

Everyone is very much aware that Oat Milk and Soy Milk and all the other non-dairy milks don't have any cow juice in them

Just the name itself makes it clear.

It's as equally stupid, in my opinion, as the argument that we shouldn't call a vegetarian or vegan burger a "burger" because people might think it has meat when it doesn't.

It's all a play by the dairy and meat industries to make vegan alternatives sound unappetising, and it's very transparent.

What about coconut milk? (Or is it just not called that anyway)
