Reason article
what a fricking dickhead. using the goddamn FDA to try to support the industries of his constituency?
big fricking government bro. here to protect you (if you're politically connected)

Last month more than 30 Members of Congress wrote a letter to the FDA asking the agency to require makers of non-dairy milks—including almond, rice, and soy—to stop using the term "milk" to describe their milk. The congressional letter is ridiculous, and reeks of a mix of unconstitutional protectionism and unconstitutional restrictions on free speech.
Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vermont), who's spearheading the misguided effort, says he's pushing the FDA to act in order "to protect Vermont's dairy farmers." Such action is neither part of the FDA's mission nor job. Neither is it within the agency's power.

The dairy industry has been making a living out of seeking government protection against its competitors since, perhaps, the dawn of time. And the federal government (along with state governments) has a long and sordid history of obliging the industry. Examples are this are so legion, and provide such foul evidence of ways the government wrongly protects one segment of the food industry, that I typically devote a whole week of the Food Law & Policy classes I teach to issues of dairy protectionism.
Dairy prices too low? No worries. The USDA will buy up your surplus cheese, or pay Domino's to develop a cheesier pizza. Don't like non-dairy coffee creamers competing with your cow-milk creamer? The state will force your competitor to call its products by a bizarre, made-up name—"melloream"—that no one would ever buy. Problem solved.

Wouldn't this precedent then have to apply to stupid shite like tofu burgers and such?
What constitutes a hamburger? Or what about Miso Mayo?
How far down the rabbit hole do they want to go with this nonsense?

Ooooh, whole milk is not good for you. Lots of fat.
BTW, I just read an article that said moms should feed their tots lots of peanuts so they won't develop peanut allergy later in childhood.
If there is almond milk I wonder if you can feed newborns peanut milk.

Well...
It ain't milk. It's juice.
Milk comes from a teet, juice comes from your nuts,,,

It's an insult to consumers to believe that they are too stupid to know the difference.

ask Just Mayo
quote:
“The term ‘mayo’ has long been used and understood as shorthand or slang for mayonnaise,” William A. Correll Jr., director of the F.D.A.’s office of compliance for food safety and applied nutrition, wrote in the letter. The agency also said that Just Mayo and Just Mayo Sriracha contained too much fat for the company to imply that they were “heart healthy.”
The federal standards of identity for food require that any product called mayonnaise contain eggs, which neither Just Mayo nor Just Mayo Sriracha does. In addition, the letter said:

Come see who the attorney is that will be crossing me. Then you will see why. He is slimy and dirty..and now that I'm out of the state and not practicing there anymore...I can't wait to be there and talk about it in open court.

I am curious what our poli scientists think of this.
So wi-fi, microwaves and cell phones can cause cancer? I knew an older lady that died from a brain tumor and one of her kids swears it was from wi-fi and her microwave.
I know it's black heloish but the RUSSIANS seem to think there is something to this..

They say microwaves are bad for you but THIS IS WHAT they don’t tell you
In Russia, microwave ovens were banned in 1976 because of their negative effect on health and wellbeing.
-Eating food processed from a microwave oven causes permanent brain damage by “shorting out” electrical impulses in the brain.
-The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.
-Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit.
-Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths (tumors). This may explain the rapid increased rate of colon cancer in America.
-The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.
-Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and serum alterations.
-Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.
- Microwaving milk and cereal grains converted some of their amino acids into carcinogens.
-Thawing frozen fruits converted their glucoside and galactoside containing fractions into carcinogenic substances.
-Extremely short exposure of raw, cooked or frozen vegetables converted their plant alkaloids into carcinogens.
