A friend of mine sells raw goats milk at his goat farm just out of Bundaberg.I would have raw if I could, like my wifes family have on an Irish farm.
Unlikely lolI don't like soy milk at all. I've tried, over the years and I use it to make tofu but don't like the milk itself. I use oat milk - it tastes creamy and my husband prefers it to dairy so now we don't get dairy.
I'd agree about calling plant milk something else were it not for the fact that nut milk has been called this for centuries and no-one used to mind, agreeing that it was just a variant.
Milk is a generic term, and usually clarified by type as to dairy, goat, nut, soy - does it really matter?
Is anyone who prefers dairy actually going to be mislead into going to the free from section and choosing a plant milk, and then going home to be astounded to find they've not got cow's milk?

Apparently the EU allow 'coconut milk' and 'almond milk' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-40274645That's exactly the reason that none of the substitutes are allowed to be labelled as "milk".
They're all called "drink" so far as I am aware.
Now you mention it I have seen tins labelled coconut milk but never a "milk style" carton. Never seen anything almond labelled as milk though.. can't find anything on the Tesco website. Most makers just seem to avoid the term or label as "milk alternative".Apparently the EU allow 'coconut milk' and 'almond milk' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-40274645
The liquid inside the nut is coconut water, coconut milk is made from the flesh. Coconut cream is coconut milk with less water.We always used to call the liquid from cocoanuts cocoanut milk, was that just our family or was it an accepted term? I think I have seen it called cocoanut water nowadays. I have tried other "milks" such as soy and almond, the only one I can get away with is roasted almond milk but only in coffee. Tinned cocoanut milk on the other hand (no resemblance to above) is great for my chicken korma.
As far as I recall, dairy cows and goats are not slaughtered for their milk. Please keep to the topic of Milk.I’m happy (I could do a little dance but I’m tired) to have read that some people are buying plant based milk. So what do we call plant based milk? Nut juice? Rice water? Oat water? Soy bean juice sounds good nonetheless. I think some vegans don’t care if it’s 2% soy or 96% soy, because no cows or goats were killed in the process of producing milk.
My mum use to brew up soy milk and used the pulp to make soy meat balls in tomato sauce. The homemade soy milk is a lot stronger in smell and taste. The whole process took some time, soaking the soy beans etc. So having that option in super markets is indeed a good choice.
In regards to the video, surely there are a whole range of factors as to why we don’t have enough vitamin d or iodine. I mean England isn’t particularly sunny and I know that because Asians suffer the most. More over vegans are eating sea vegetables too to get iodine. Nori sheets are pretty tasty. In spite of that, for any type 1s having to bolus for milk, in my opinion it is not worth it.
