Actually the EU recently ruled that "Plant-based foods cannot be sold in the European Union using terms such as milk, butter and cheese". There are some exceptions though. See http://www.bbc.com/news/business-40274645

There's a similar push happening in Australia.

BTW, I think pizza is only called 'pizza pie' in the US? And a house boat is definitely a boat if it floats.

True about the EU ruling, but legal language is often different than more informal everyday language. Obviously the Court of Justice did not rule that you are forbidden from using the word "milk" when speaking to your friends about soy milk :-)
