I get it. There's the old Lewis Black rant that you need a tit for "milk" and no one wants to drink something called "soy juice." But I think that letting plant-based alternatives label themselves as "milk" allows them to compete in an arena where they are a tiny fraction of sales.

Plant-based milk often uses much less water than animal milk.

TLDR: Oat milk is fukken awesome and also like the one thing my kid isn't allergic to.
