In America we do things the confidently incorrect way.

This has to be bait

Textbook bait.

I'm gonna guess this fella's never been anywhere near an American dairy farm

Or the dairy isle at the supermarket...

Maybe it's commentary on how food products in the US are becoming more and more artificial so that milk is now just water with food coloring. /s

Cheese is dairy*

*Because we're not actually legally allowed to call most of it cheese in a lot of countries

I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to call it cheese in the US either. It gets labelled as "cheese product".

Isn't that just for stuff like "American cheese"? Aka processed cheese.

That wouldn't apply to something like a cheddar, mozzarella, provalone, Gouda, feta, Swiss, etc.

Proper American cheese is called “Pasteurized Process American Cheese”

Once non-dairy oil starts being used it loses the ability to be called American Cheese and you start seeing “American Slices” on the label.

What now

7% of people in the US are 5 or under so this tracks.

1,000 adults 18 and over were asked questions about the role milk plays in their daily lives, Food & Wine reported.

Per the article

Sadly, I'm surprised it's that low

Or possibly 7% of the US thinks it's funny to give stupid answers to polls.

I've never seen a purple cow;
I hope to never see one.
But from the milk I'm drinking now,
I'm sure that there must be one.

I wonder if they think eggs are dairy...

No but tofu is.

Howdy! Midwest guy here. I speak for all Midwesterners (yeah all of them, shut up Kyle) and I can tell you Cow's Milk is dairy. Now if you want to drink almond, or oat, or rice juice that's fine as well.

*red hawk, but we don't acknowledge those in 'murica

There are two kinds of country

Both of them are wolves

But dairy products are made from millk and milk is not classically thought as a product made from millk (even if it actually is)?

milk from a cow or other domestic animal (such as a goat) also : food (such as ice cream, cheese, or yogurt) made primarily of or from milk

Can't have milk without milk.

Dairy products not dairy. What he was talking about was dairy. Not dairy products. Can't you read?

Go back to bed Jaden

Hey, man. Dairy products come from cows, but that don't make them beef. #Sarcasm

But probably the logic at play here.
