Until recently I’ve only ever seen vegan “plant based” foods, and so didn’t give much thought to to this. Whatever, if it makes people less weird about vegan food choices at the store that’s fine by me.
But today I found out Morningstar is now labeling themselves and all of their products as plant based, and most of their crap is vegetarian with milk and eggs. And they’re one of the top brands.
So now I hate “plant based” and have a strong opinion about it.
Same. I've also seen non-food products like detergents that weren't even vegetarian labeled as "plant based". Many companies seem to use the term as synonym for "contains some amount of plant stuff", making it entirely meaningless.
