I agree with this. I understand why everything was branded as a meat replacement, but that just lead to the promise of meat taste and texture that I don't think has ever been satisfyingly achieved. "Oat drink" tells you what you're getting so your average meat-pilled flesh-maxxer doesn't feel betrayed. It can be enjoyed on it's own merits.
That was my experience when I was veggie for a few years; Meat substitutes weren't good substitutes and I didn't start to enjoy them until I learned to appreciate them on their own merits.
Except for the fact that we have been referring to liquid from plants as "milk" for centuries. Nobody batted an eye at soy milk in all these years, but suddenly it's supposedly weird or trying to replace cow milk... It's just not. I get the issue with branding vegan food as a meat replacement, but plant milk was never that.

Flowers don’t have nipples.

Aren't they technically genitals. Male/female/both. It should be soy spunk, or soy squirt.

If you buy oat milk and expect some sort of cow milk you should lose your driving license
The trick to vegan cooking is to not focus on what is "missing"
Word. Tofu was gross until I stopped trying to use it as a substitute and realized I could marinate it and get a delicious result.
Truth. Folks need to learn from the people that invented and eat the stuff for hundreds of years.
Just don't ask which country invented which thing unless it's clearly and undisputibly from there. Aka don't ask who invented dubu/doufu/tofu
