> For example, if one wishes to drink almond milk while eating meat, he needs to indicate that it is in fact almond milk, not regular milk, which is forbidden. In the olden days, this was done by popping some whole almonds into the milk. Today, this can be achieved by having the container on the table, making it clear that it is almond milk.

Who are you indicating it to? Does gods omnipotence not extend to distinguishing different types of milk, or is this so people can police it? (not trying to be snarky - genuinely curious)

The mere appearance of impropriety may encourage others to actually commit the impropriety.

(Not Jewish, but I find Talmud very interesting.)

Thanks, that does seem like a reasonable reason to make it clear what you're doing.
