Grass fed organic Whole milk is the basis for some of the most healthy Northern European derived folks who have the gene to process lactose. Myself included. Since switching to a breakfast of tons of fruit and whole fermented milk products my health and weight have improved.

Should products that are 100% plant based be called milk? Not arguing the health benefits of the products which is unquestionable. Only advertising laws. In my mind we cannot have it both ways.

As an example: everyone calls all adjustable end wrenches Cressent Wrenches. But only one company can use that name.

Not willing to go to the mat on the issue. Just curious.
