Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

Vegan drink Oatly can’t call itself ‘milk’, judges rule (www.telegraph.co.uk)

I'll probably stick to asking for oat milk instead of "porridge water" or whatever the new mandated name will be. To be honest I do think calling it "milk" lets them inflate the price when it is essentially porridge water.

I love me some porridge water. Especially a porridge water latte.

You know what, I have zero problem calling it that, own it oatly! :D

Porridge is different. It’s been cooked which crosslinks the starch molecules. Oat milk isn’t porridge water… it’s different down at the molecular level. Believe me, I made this mistake when ‘cooking’ up a batch, sorry, that should have been ‘cocking’

Sadly, they'll probably call it 'Nilk' or something lazy like that

MALK. Fuck, that was a Simpson's joke and when I was searching for an image I found this: https://www.heb.com/product-detail/malk-original-organic-oat-milk/1954842

I would go with cereal water. It's what it is, and something it can be used for.
