YSK: The term "Genuine Leather", it is not to reassure you that their product is made of leather, rather its the name of the lowest grade of leather a company can use.

Why YSK: The term "Genuine Leather" is a marketing term to sell the lowest quality leather possible.

When purchasing a leather product, look for full grain leather or top grain leather instead. These will provide a much higher quality cut of leather that will look and feel much better and last for much longer.

Is it really leather, though?

is soy milk really milk, though?

nope.

do I care?

nope. love the stuff.

If you enjoy it great.

Except for a few specific cases, indo not enjoy them at all... Oat milk is okay if the milk is not a major player in taste. Coconut milk is good if you want a coconutty taste.

Personally I prefer soymilk and almond milk for cereal, but I'll stick to regular milk products for most sauces/cooking.

That’s fine, but if you’re going to advocate for an alternative product, you should believe in it enough not to pretend it’s the thing it’s supposed to replace or that the people you're trying to convince are too stupid to notice the difference.

Dark chocolate almond milk is my favorite splurge.
