      A few months ago he was trying to get Pennsylvania to ban use of the word “milk” for anything that’s not dairy products. Nevermind that coconut milk and almond milk have been a thing since like the renaissance and officially defined since the 18th century lmao.

        The popularity of alt-milks has skyrocketed recently too. It’s funny that they’re choosing now as the time to ban the word “milk” after there’s zero chance anyone will mistake it for cow’s milk.

        Oh drat oh bother I’ve accidentally bought peanut butter instead of dairy butter. What ever shall I put on my toast now??

        It’s to make vegan shit unappetizing to normies

        We already have that in the EU, so we’ve got almond “drinks” and oat “drinks”

      Yeah I genuinely don’t understand the point he’s trying to make. I’m not even vegan, this is just such a weird thing to have an issue with. Like yeah, it looks like any industrial food production facility? What did you expect it to look like?
