Reply to comment by TheDarkClaw in Ben & Jerry's owner may launch ice cream made from cow-free dairy | The potential rise of lab-grown milk could result in amazing advances in the world of ice cream by chrisdh79

Because beautiful lies sell better than not so beautiful truths.

It's not almond milk, it's nut juice (or almond-based milk substitute) the same way it's not plant-based meat, it's plant-based meat substitute.

I think it's a bit stupid to keep calling new stuff that isn't the same thing as something earlier by the same name or at least trying to invoke the image of it. Just like with JavaScript and Java.

I think the plant-based stuff would do better if they didn't try so hard to emulate something else. Make good recipes by themselves, don't try to fake something else.
