The commonly understood term for plant butter is margarine

When you're at the shop can you grab some peanut margarine and coconut white liquid?

According to EU legislature you can say "coconut milk", I guess it's ok since it doesn't compete with dairy products. However soy/oat/almond m*lk is literally the antichrist and must be defeated.

Sorry, I struggle to read tone from messages sometimes - do you genuinely feel that way? and if you do, why?

I meant that jokingly, as in, European Court of Justice is scared of plant-based milk. The way I see it ECJ put in a lot of effort to solve a nonexistent problem, and presented it as "protecting consumers".

I understand, and I agree with you completely! Thank you for the clarification, and have a great evening!

Thanks for the comment, but I’m not at all interested in getting into that argument. Hope you have a great day though!
