When you have your morning coffee or cereal, what kind of milk do you normally add to each? Do you reach for regular cow’s milk, or do you go for one of the many (many) different kinds of plant-based milks now available? A few years ago most people might have answered cow’s milk, but the popularity of plant-based milk — like almond and soy — has changed the tide.
With this growing trend, a new question has emerged: Should these plant-based beverages really be called “milk”?
Milk is currently having an identity crisis, with lawmakers questioning what “milks” are worthy of being called one. Some members of Congress have started a bipartisan crusade against plant-based milks — or “fake milk,” as they call it — calling on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to crack down on milks that don’t come from cows.
