Soy Milk and Almond Milk (OT)

ok this isn't a which is better kind of thing but I just want to take a minute and say how much I can't stand these names.  If I look back to high school biology I seem to remember the fact that Milk comes out of nipples.  Doesn't matter what it is attached to boobie, udder cats abdomen.  Last time I looked at a soy bean or almond they both lacked the required parts to produce milk?

So why do we call them milk?  I believe it is because no body would drink Soy Juice, almond juice might be a bit more doable but I doubt Soy Juice would have ever become this popular.

Well Thanks for your time.

I've tasted both post RNY...Both I couldn't stand.  They tasted as bad as some whey protein shakes.  Thank goodness I'm not allergic to dairy products.  For most of my life I've grown almonds for a living.  With their "milk" I tried to mix it with other things, nothing worked.  Just tasted strange.

 LMAO Paul!!!!  I know what you mean...who comes up with the names for this stuff????  Mike 

Ironically, I absolutely HATED soy milk (SILK) and Almond Milk before my RNY.  My daughter is vegan, so no milk at her house...  However, since RNY, I can tolerate it OK.  Still don't love it, but it doesn't make me gag like it did before.  Like you, however, I don't like the name.  If the vegetarians love their veggie food so much, how come they name and flavor everything to taste like meat or milk products?  Don't get me wrong, I like veggies just fine, but I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain just to each broccoli and carrots!

I like soy slender (chocolate flavor). It's chocolate soy milk. I'm lactose intollerant, and while I love milk, it does not love me.

Almond milk is good too...but usually very high in sugar.

My better half drinks that stuff.
