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.

I think you may be on to something, there. 😁

Seriously, though, I couldn't agree with you more; it is the very powerful meat and dairy industries that allegedly think people are unable to comprehend words. Words that are clearly visible and easily understood on the packaging of every plant-based product.
When I submitted a post on this subject here and on another site, not one person could say they had been misled or "deceived" by the labeling on a plant-based product...not even those who insisted it was deceptive wording.

(Whoops!) 🤦‍♀

@DrWatson Thank you. That makes me feel a little less goofy. 😊
