Moo

Should soy and nut milks be considered - and labelled -
as milk when sold in stores. Some people in the American government
think not, they claim it is misleading, when cow milk is regulated and
subsidized (here in Canada) as a healthy food for children.

Clearly, these products are milk substitutes for certain people and certain
purposes. Vegetarians, and vegans appreciate that they are equivalent to
milk in calcium. They also serve as milk for eating cereal, and baking. But
at the same time, they are lower in fat, and thus calories, and lack the sugar and
micronutrients ie the many vitamins and minerals, found in Moo.

Etymologically, I would guess the word milk is a metonym, derived in a number of
languages from the activity of milking.
...
From Old English melcan, from Proto-Germanic *melkaną, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂melǵ-, the same root as the noun. Compare Dutch and German melken, Danish malke, Norwegian mjølke, also Latin mulgeō ‎(“I milk”), Ancient Greek ἀμέλγω ‎(amélgō, “I milk”), Albanian mjel ‎(“to milk”), Russian молоко́ ‎(molokó), Lithuanian mélžti, Tocharian A mālk-.

Milk will always be Moo for me, but that is perhaps generational. Young adults are increasingly
making the shift to these other beverages. I also sympathize with a nascent industry that may not
want to be marketing a 'beverage' when a milk sounds so much better. But then it is
the Dairy industry that is complaining that their products are being undersold. So it is
dairy-milk(D-Milk) vs milk-substitute(Milk-S) for the moment.

Just had to comment on the below article, on the US Space Program.
Because it is terribly chagrin (sad), confining, frighteningly sensible. The
gist of the argument is this: that humans have no business traveling in space
themselves, but should content themselves -indeed, will prosper - by sending 
robots to do the work.

So let me say this about that: not robots but droids. Because if we accept the line
of reasoning, that humans are so fragile that they make space exploration costly to
the point of absurdity, robot control has clear limits as well. The 5-second rule
is impossible to apply for a robot on Mars. Drop the piece of toast, it takes fifteen
minutes for Earth to register that this has happened; and another fifteen to answer
back 'pick it up'. And a robot capable of making that call for itself would have to be
a droid, close enough to a human to require an extensive sensing and programming
capability. How far is that down the line.

Just saying...
