Make it illegal to add a surcharge on alternative milks. — 12 signatures. Status: rejected.
I want to make it illegal to add a surcharge for alternative milks. It's crucial to recognise that plant-based milks are not just a lifestyle choice for many, but a necessity for millions who suffer from lactose intolerance or milk allergies. I urge for people to consider these changes.
Every time I order a coffee or a tea, I have to pay extra to choose a milk that won't make me ill. In many food establishments choosing plant-based milk alternatives like soy, oat, or coconut milk often comes with an extra charge. This additional cost is not just a financial burden but also a form of discrimination against those who cannot consume regular dairy. I urge lawmakers and business owners to take immediate action by eliminating the surcharge on alternative milk options.
