Non-animal foods have been around a long time, even commercially, even in North America.
Henry Ford (yes, that Ford) had a soy milk factory in the 1930s, and J. H, Kellog (yes, that Kellog) sold Protose before that.
If we're looking at the whole word, tofu's been around for over 2000 years, seitan has been around for about 1500 years.
Edit: Forgot about Loma Linda foods. They've also been around for over 100 years in North America
To add to this, recipes for plant-milk (almond specifically) can be found dating back to the 13th century. n3m37h is just willfully historically illiterate and hilariously reactionary.
