      You’ll have to ask the people who started calling them milks hundreds of years ago.

      They have a lot more in common with dairy milk than they do juice. And they’re also commonly used as dairy milk alternatives. Plant milk is a much better descriptor even if juice might be more “accurate”.

      I do it to piss off dairy farmers specifically. They hate it that I get to call it plant milk and that’s really funny to me.
