What a strange thing to be pedantic about

Oh we're good at this. In the whole EU it's not allowed to print 'milk' or 'cheese' on something that doesn't contain actual animal's milk. Want to sell soy milk? Ok but don't call it that way...

It's weird, since "milk" in English has included plant milk longer than the taxonomic definition of a "mammal" has existed.

We're not allowed to call part of the night sky, the Milky Way any more.
