The thing about cow milk is that....
1) It's falsely made to be this be-all-end-all drink that is necessary for human health if you listen to some sources. "Without milk your bones won't grow strong" is a sentiment that is spread by the dairy industry. Milk isn't all that good for calsium in absolute numbers nor does it absorb into your body as well as some plant sources.
2) Too much milk is/can be bad for people while not bringing any additional health benefits.
3) Producing one liter of cow milk takes about 1000 liters of water, in addition to a huge land area to produce their food and the space the animals themselves take plus all the other ways it pollutes the environment and contributes to climate change. It's a huge ecological stress for the environment. Cow milk is one of the most replacable things in a diet, so it should be one of the first things to go for anyone who cares about the future of this planet/humankind.
Recently had soy milk for the first time. It was disgusting. Basically earth flavored water.
There are tons of different soy milk products. They don't all taste the same. It might also require some time to get used to.
It's a great ingredient and is also good on cereal or as chocolate milk with donuts.
No milk = no butter = no baked goods worth eating
Butter isn't needed for good baked goods.

I hope this becomes a thing globally, so that people who peddle fake milk can't call it by that name anymore. Let them call it juice, and watch the appeal drop like a rock.
Almond juice...
It's already a thing in Europe/EU. Stuff is called "soy drink", "almond drink", "oat drink" etc. instead of milks. I'll still continue calling plant milks as plant milks because that's the space they fill in a vegetarian/vegan diet. Official/commercial guidelines only govern how they can be called in marketing/branding, that matters fuck all to regular folks talking about food.
