You can indeed create milk without requiring a cow.
True enough. But not from an oat.
Also from oat.
juice from oat. milk from titties.
So if we would create milk in a lab, which is chemically identical to e.g. cow's milk, but without any udder secretion involved, that wouldn't be milk?
What is milk if not just fatty water with a couple of nutrients?
Our concept of "milk" goes beyond mere mammary gland secretes.
That's just it. You can't.
I can't no. But other people can.
We can already create meat in a lab. Milk is coming as well.
