You may also answer and discuss here, but only the votes in the link is counted for the purposes of this survey.

Why am I doing this? Because I missed the polls from [the website that shall not be named], so I wanted to experiment a bit here. And what better way to do polls than the best way! I hereby present you to the Ranked Choice Ballot! Ta-da! (Please go vote, I spent a lot of time on this)

Edit: If you don't want to vote, here are the results from all the votes so far:

Out of curiousity, where do you live? Alternative milks (like oat-milk, soy-milk, almond-milk, etc) have become very popular the past few years.

Oh shit I knew I was missing something. How could I forget soy milk lol. It's hard to think with depression...

Edit: USA

Yea I meant plant-based “milks” (I know they’re now called “beverages” but I haven’t come around to it just yet).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They've been called plant milk for centuries. The whole "beverage" thing is from labeling laws lobbied for by the dairy industry. It doesn't reflect how people have speak today nor how they have for centuries (you can find medieval recipes for almond milk that call it almond milk)

Yeah, I’m also not a fan of the dairy lobby coming for my “plant milk” label. I’m in the US, where AFAIK nothing has stuck. But I believe in the EU they’ve now officially had to implement the “beverage” label (please correct me if I’m wrong!), which kinda sucks imo but whatever. Despite what the dairy industry thinks, it’s not going to stop people buying plant milks.
