The Senate voted, 14-84, to defeat an amendment, offered by Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, that would kill spending on a Food and Drug Administration study on what can be marketed as milk.That actually is an attack on dairy farmers — cronyist.
“Consumers are not deceived by these labels,” said Lee. “No one buys almond milk under the false illusion that it came from a cow. They buy it because it didn’t come from a cow.”...
Wisconsin Democrat Tammy Baldwin called the amendment “an attack on dairy farmers”...
“These labeling requirements play right into the hands of the large, cronyist food industries that want to place new, innovative products at a disadvantage,” said Lee in a statement last week.
I wrote about the what-is-milk issue long ago. In 2005, in a post called "Sitting in a café":
Extremely mild irritation of the morning (heightened by my caffeination): a man orders a coffee drink made with soy milk. Unless you're allergic to milk or moralistically vegan, don't order soy milk! What are you doing? Soy is a bean -- or, really, a legume. Do you drink peanut milk? Lentil milk? There is no milk, not even juice in a soy bean. So what is this soy "milk"? It's some kind of water containing tiny bean particles. That's not aesthetically correct.I had to update to say:
An emailer writes: "Hel-lo! Coffee! Cocoa! ... Water with bean particles makes my whole life better, dammit." Wait! Cocoa goes in milk. But still, I get the point. And what is milk anyway? Water with -- what? Why do I favor it solely because the water has been transformed inside an animal rather than suitably boiled and then mixed with a pure powder of human manufacture? Why do I want my liquids to be something that appear in their final form in the natural state? Every other liquid that emerges from the body of an animal is something we -- most of us -- hate to drink a glassful of. The wonder, then, is that we find cow's milk aesthetically pleasing.

"to what comes out of cows?"
Forget talking with Congress. Focus on the unions which've been milking jobs for years.
"Dairy industry wants to limit the word to what comes out of cows"
Dairy Industry might want to expand the word to include humans:
"An opaque white fluid rich in fat and protein, secreted by female mammals for the nourishment of their young", but not for you, Mr. Dairy Industry Guy, unless you're selling Extract of My Own Mom and she's a cow and you're also a cow.
"An opaque white fluid rich in fat and protein, secreted by female mammals for the nourishment of their young"
I have it on good authority that males can secrete milk. As I understand this, what normally happens is when the baby in the male's uterus is pushed out the milk production amps up in his breasts. Also I have read that the same thing happens in females.
Milk out of nuts isn't restricted to mammals.
I'm on a low potassium diet and (cow) milk has lots of potassium. That's OK. I don't really like milk, but in some dishes it's unavoidable. Soy and almond milks are also high in potassium so I use rice milk, which bears some similarities to real milk, but for the most part you're just kidding yourself.

Our family has been drinking skim milk, well, forever. I remember having whole milk once and it tasted like cream. Maybe I should drink it more often.
So long as "milk" without any qualifiers always means cow's milk, Mike Lee is right. Nobody's fooled. Just another example of government waste.
I love me a glass of cold milk but as I’ve aged i.e. left my teens and early twenties I’ve noticed an increase in intolerance toward cow milk. Alas, after one too many close calls I’ve had to jump on the coconut, cashew, soy and almond alternative train. But let’s be real, they’re not milk. It’s basically nut water.
But that’s a tough label to put on grocery shelves so almond milk it is!
Milk is ...wait for it....racist!
But you knew that already because it's white.
Lactose Intolerance by Ethnicity and Region
East Asian 90-100%
African American 75%
African African 70-90%
British 5-15%
Drink skim milk for a month and you'll never be able to tolerate the taste of whole milk again.
Lactose intolerant? Get yourself some lactase and enjoy. Or try lactose free dairy products which seem sweeter somehow than regular milk.
We've milk this topic for all it's worth
Coconut milk and coconut water are apparently two quite different things.
government never studies any "problem" without the full intention going in of regulating the hell out of it. We all know how this "study" will turn out.
Powdered coffee creamer, in Canada, is labeled, Coffee Whitener. I suspect there is a dairy lobby involved.
Doesn't the FDA have something more important to do? Anyone who thinks almond ( or any plant based) milk is the same as cow's ( or other animal based) milk has serious problems. Problems better dealt with by the NIH. Such as research into curing stupidity.

Like Annie said*, an Ice Cold glass and a chocolate chip cookie, and you're good to go back outside and play until suppertime. It's filling; because it's Delicious!

Not a lot of dairy farms in Utah. Almond groves, though...
Lee's a pompous git.
The evolution of lactose tolerance is interesting and may explain the Indo_European invasion.
According to The 10,000 Year Explosion, “For example, we see changes in genes affecting transport of vitamins into cells. Similarly, vitamin D shortages in the new diet may have driven the evolution of light skin in Europe and northern Asia. Vitamin D is produced by ultraviolet radiation from the sun acting on our skin – an odd, plantlike way of going about things. Less is therefore produced in areas far from the equator, where UV flux is low. Since there is plenty of vitamin D in fresh meat, hunter-gatherers in Europe may not have suffered from vitamin D shortages and thus may have been able to get by with fairly dark skin. In fact, this must have been the case, since several of the major mutations causing light skin color appear to have originated after the birth of agriculture. Vitamin D was not abundant in the new cereal-based diet, and any resulting shortages would have been serious, since they could lead to bone malformations (rickets), decreased resistance to infectious diseases, and even cancer. This may be why natural selection favored mutations causing light skin, which allowed for adequate vitamin D synthesis in regions with little ultraviolet radiation.”
Alcoholic drinks, which became important with the rise of agriculture, have plenty of bad side effects, yet essentially all agricultural peoples enjoyed some form of alcoholic brew.
So, along with many things, beer explains lactose tolerance.
Lactose intolerance is found among just 5% of Scandinavians in the far north of Europe, but among more than 70% of the population in Sicily in the far south. While it is common to show some symptoms of lactose intolerance, many Africans and Asians are not able to digest lactose at all. “Which came first, the cattle or the mutation, you can’t tell,” Harpending says. “If the mutation had not occurred, there wouldn’t be so much dairying. But if people who could digest lactose didn’t have cattle, the mutation would have had no advantage.” He speculates whether this mutation may have contributed to the first Indo-European expansion.
When cattle were kept at least as much for their milk as for their meat this was beneficial, since dairying is more efficient than raising cattle for slaughter; it produces about five times as many calories per square kilometer. Those who could utilize milk as adults could raise more warriors on the same amount of land. Dairying could have been more productive than grain farming in northern regions during the late Neolithic and Copper Age/Early Bronze Age. As the Proto-Indo-Europeans became dairymen they relied more on cattle and less on grain farming, which gave them a major advantage in mobility over more settled populations of pre-state farmers. Perhaps the first Indo-Europeans were a successful society of pastoral nomads who raised livestock and moved about to find good pastures for their animals.
This is on my list of Top Pet Peeves: vegetarians/vegans co-opting meaty/dairy words for their food. My family is vegetarian, my dad a vegan. Got nothing against it until you feed me something called "Tofurky", tell me its going to taste like turkey - and it tastes like cardboard, not turkey. Please do not tell me that your reengineered-for-vegetarians food TASTES like the thing its NOT supposed to be. Find a fancy French/Thai/Chinese/Latin/FillInBlank word for liquid extracts of nuts.
Foods like this need their own name. Give it a name that describes what it IS. If I am told a dish is "Vegetarian Meatloaf" - my tastebuds are expecting...meatloaf, not soy with a ton a flavor added in an attempt to mimic beef. Had you told me it was "Soy Loaf" (ugh, not very appetizing) at least my expectations are not high, and stand a better chance of enjoying it without preconcieved ideas.
Indeed gilbar. Extra words are fine. As long a milk and cookies are included.

Margarine used to come with the butter-coloring separate, thanks to our friends at the Diary Industry who don't want us to be confused just because we can't read.

This isn't the first time Sen Feinstein failed to save milk.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscone%E2%80%93Milk_assassinations
My mom loved margarine. Not so much as a culinary item but as a miracle of modern science. During WWII real butter was hard to come by, and mom's family were very happy to be able to get margarine. Thanks to the efforts of the dairy lobby, margarine producers were not allowed to color the margarine. It was white as marketed, but it came with a little pouch of food coloring so you could approximate the appearance of butter if you cared to.
Mom thought butter was bad for you, so we grew up on margarine. Dad always had a cholesterol problem and died at 62 from an aortic dissection. I think it was the margarine. I can't stand the stuff, and from the day I moved out I've only used butter. My cholesterol is 160, and so far I've lived two years longer than Dad.
I've never heard of soy butter, but nut butter is fantastic. Mmmm, peanut butter. Mmmm, almond butter.
And what about Milk if Magnesia?
It's all politics.
Cheese and yogurt and other yeast milk stouts are the natural food of herders. They can be transported to eat later without cooking. Think Genghiss Khan's horde of riders. in Viking country, along with fish,they are the staff of life where agriculture is limited by land and climate limitations. Salute to Bailey's Irish Cream.
Lee is right, as usual. No one brighter than Tammy Baldwin (i.e., essentially 100% of the human race) believes almond milk comes from the mammary glands of some mammal.

"Lactose intolerant? Get yourself some lactase and enjoy. Or try lactose free dairy products which seem sweeter somehow than regular milk".
Or, try non homogenized milk. My wife is lactose intolerant but she can drink non-homogenized milk. We get it from the dairy about 4 miles from our house. When milk is homogenized, it is forced through nozzles with holes that are microscopically small. That changes the molecular structure of milk and is why most people who are lactose intolerant cant drink it.
I suspect there is a dairy lobby involved.
Naah! Just because Canadians have something like a 200% tariff on imported dairy products doesn’t mean that dairy there has a powerful lobby!

Fair Life milk has the lactose filtered out of it and tastes therefore like it is higher in fat content than it really is. It was such a pleasure to find that stuff and eat cereal again. Almond milk is fine to. “Vegan” is just another word for “passive aggressive.”

Friend of mine's crusty old dad: "Almond milk? Since when do almonds have tits?"
"No one buys almond milk under the false illusion that it came from a cow. They buy it because it didn’t come from a cow.”
Which is why I have been drinking almond milk for the last five years. It feels healthier to me. YMMV.
That said, I am definitely not a vegan. I do most of the cooking because I am retired and my fiancé works. She feeds my ego by telling me what a wonderful, health conscious cook I am.
This weeks menu includes beef, chicken and fish with a plan to learn how the AZ natives make (pork) chili verde.
Fair Life lactation excrement is higher in protein and lower in sugar.
Milk should be defined as any liquid produced by an organism through glands to feed its offspring. (The glands eliminate simple regurgitation.) Then you have cow's milk, goat's, whale's, platypus, and even some insects.
You can milk anything with nipples.
I too think has to come from mammals, not grains an nuts. No problem with the product, though I don't care for it.
Call it a "milk-like fluid" there are too many people who honestly think soy or almond milk is milk.
Back in the 80s some company ran an ad showing an Italian family picking the "spaghetti harvest" from trees. They got fined for misleading advertising.

Honey is produced within bee's proventriculus (honey stomach) from nectar and enzymes produced by a bee's hypopharyngeal gland. So I guess Honey is bee milk?
The local joke in San Antonio, and probably other similar well integrated areas, is that Soy Milk is just regular milk introducing itself, "Soy" is Spanish for "I am", it's saying "I am milk".
In fact, the native (born in area, regardless of race) dialect in coastal to central Texas has a bunch of Spanish and Germanic words.
Dr Mike's link was interesting. Basically:
Agriculture allows armies (because more (not better) food)
Dairy production allows mobile armies (because cows can graze as you go)
Lactose tolerance allows Dairy Consumption
Thus, White Man's Milk explains White domination of the World

So then what do you call Almond milk?
The almond milk formerly known as almond milk?
"Anyone who thinks almond (or any plant based) milk is the same as cow's (or other animal based) milk has serious problems."
Based on the name, I used to think it was almond flavored cow's milk. It's intentionally misleading, isn't it?
I don't deny the serious problems part, but I don't think they're connected to almond milk.
Milk is made to feed the young. Almond nuts are a seed which is a package made up of an plant embryo and some very high quality food for that embryo when it begins to grow, all inside a seed coat. So what's wrong with almond "milk" which is made from that high-quality food for the young of the almond tree? Restricting the word "milk" to "food for the young of the class of mammals" is class prejudice as well as being the philosophical error of essentialism. Further, as pointed out above, once you don't have milk from plants you don't have butter from plants either - no peanut butter. Chocolate is made from cocoa butter - no Hersey kisses. And on we go in error's endless maze. Will the law require segregated coolers?
Silk is taken.
Will silk worms go on strike? will they demand their product off-limits to the nuts formerly know as Almond/Soy/Cashew/Milk?
Are you guys telling me that Tiger's Milk doesn't come from tigers?
You're a smart person who enjoys word definitions. One of the very clear definitions of milk is to "extract sap, venom, or other substances".
The word "plant milk" has entered the vernacular to the extent it has it's own wikipedia page. Horchata, rice milk, coconut milk etc. etc. As the senator said, no one is confused about where almond milk comes from. And if they feel defrauded, they don't need the full weight of the investigatory powers of the US Congress and it's research department to help you avoid spending $4 on a box of almond milk.
If you do a little digging some of these things have been called milks for over a couple hundred years.
Almond juice?
Citrus and other fruits might be offended.

I told a friend of mine, a black orthopedist, that Farrakhan was right about white people. We are "Ice People" because, as humans moved north to colder climates with seasons, they evolved whiter skin. This is true in Asia, as well. Vitamin D deficiency was one force and may also have been an advantage to lactose digestion. Fur bearing mammals don't need Vitamin D.
Africans get enough Vitamin D through sunlight on skin. The melanin is to protect from UV. They are "Sun People."

We are only 20trillion dollars in debt, but let’s retulate what is called milk. I am quite sure there are some nice pockets being lined with this “study” money. We are really screwed. I would love to see trump veto this crap.
The Soy Milk wiki:
Soy milk or soymilk is a plant-based drink produced by soaking and grinding soybeans, boiling the mixture, and filtering out remaining particulates. It is a stable emulsion of oil, water, and protein. Its original form is a natural by-product of the manufacture of tofu. It became a staple of East Asian cuisine over the last few centuries, after it was discovered that prolonged heating eliminated this effect.
The reader is left to wonder what this effect means.
