Have You Ever Walked Into A Grocery Store And Bought Something You Thought Was The Meat Of An Animal... And It Wasn't?

The very powerful meat industry, has done and are attempting to pass laws forbidding the use of labels/words like "veggie burger" or "vegan hot dog" on plant-based products. They SAY that it is confusing or "deceptive" to consumers, even though every plant-based "meat" product has meatless plain as day somewhere on the front of the packaging.

That is so weird. Anything to keep consumers from being able to make an informed decision.

@bijouxbroussard Yeah, I'm pretty sure very few consumers go to the sections of the grocery store that have plant-based "meat" products clearly labeled as veggie, vegan and meatless..and can't make an informed decision.
