Sigh, what’s the definition of milk?

Edit:

  1. A whitish liquid containing proteins, fats, lactose, and various vitamins and minerals that is produced by the mammary glands of all mature female mammals after they have given birth and serves as nourishment for their young. 
  1. The milk of cows, goats, or other animals, used as food by humans. 
  1. Any of various potable liquids resembling milk, such as coconut milk or soymilk.

It mentions coconut milk specifically

But coconut milk is made by crushing the coconut meat and mixing it with coconut water. Coconuts don't make milk, they make water. Humans crush coconuts and call it milk.
