@plantbasednews: Tom Hanks says: "There's no such thing as almond milk" Plant-based 'milks' have been under a lot of pressure in recent years... As recently as February, 2026, Oatly was banned from marketing its plant-based products as “milk” in the UK. The history of almond milk: The earliest recipes for almond milk appeared in Middle Eastern and European cookbooks during the Middle Ages. It was notably documented in Baghdad in Muhammad bin Hasan al-Baghdadi’s 1226 cookbook, Kitāb al-Ṭabīḫ. Why you should avoid dairy and instead opt for plant-based milks: Dairy cows are farmed against their will, and it is arguable that they suffer among the worst of any animal used for food. They are forcibly impregnated each year via artificial insemination. Each time they give birth, they have their calves taken from them so that humans can drink their milk. Mother cows have been known to cry out and bellow in apparent distress for days after they’re gone. Dairy cows will also end up in the slaughterhouse when their milk production is no longer profitable for the farmer. Dairy products are a source of saturated fat. Experts such as the American Heart Association (AHA) and the NHS in the UK recommend that people reduce sources of saturated fat to avoid heart disease. Animal agriculture is a leading driver of deforestation, pollution, biodiversity loss, and water use, and is linked to significant emission output.

I don’t know when this was from but it’s such a boring dad joke. It was funny the first time. Are we going to ignore that Coconut milk is neither milk nor does it come from a nut, a coconut is a fruit and there is no relation to cocoa

Ok, it's not technically milk ......... it's just a way of saying "this is an alternative to actual milk ......" ....... surely everyone knows this without having to be told??

TriFoldDick :

Where is almonds nipples, milk is produced by lactating mammals.

mpawofficial :

People really overthink things, it's a processed liquid from pressing almonds as an alternative to dairy. Touch grass.

grandjacked :

You can’t milk an almond.

mark99877 :

Almond milk is made from soaking almonds in water then blended up and straining out the pulp. So it’s not actually milk. Coconut milk is made from the white flesh of coconuts and done the same way. Milk is only from mammals.
