Breast milk is the only milk that can be vegan. It’s all about consent.
Almond, cashew, oat, soy...
Those plants didn't consent, so...
I can speak from experience that almonds are kinky little sluts and like to be milked.
To which authority? Because I know the milk conglomerate has been staunchly fighting for that very definition.
The lack of consent is more viable as a disqualifier.
I think the main distinction is lactose. And/or the proteins that are present in milk.
While oat milk and consorts can be used in a lot of use cases it's not a one to one replacement and it's dishonest to claim it is.
Depends on the uses. Food Theory did a great video about this very thing, covering preferred taste, consistency, price, protein / fat content, and bake-ability: https://youtu.be/df8FRfVtVNw
Lactose is simply the kind of sugar/ starch in the milk.

Euphemistic milks?
So meat is vegan as long as the cows consent?
Man, Hitchhiker's Guide really was ahead of its time.
Technically yes. But of course they would (and can't really) do that. But you could also eat stuff like roadkill and it's vegan. Veganism as a moral philosophy has nothing to do with food, it's about respecting and granting animals the same rights as humans (as far as applicable, not stuff like voting).
Which would mean there's the possibility of this new short horror story I just wrote:
I noticed two new options in the dairy aisle today: human breast milk, vegan and non-vegan.
