Did you know in Germany it's illegal to call a product "soy yoghurt" because yoghurt is a dairy product?

Wisconsin ("America's dairyland" according to the motto, although other states produce more these days) tries occasionally to introduce bills to prevent non-dairy beverages labeling themselves "milk" in the state on the grounds that it's misleading. I always wonder if they succeed, will peanut butter be next on their radar?

Specificity and rules in German bureaucracy? A real shock, let me tell you.
