The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

I see a lot of honey in 'plant based' foods.

This is what plant based capitalism gets us - selling products to a wider audience vs the struggle for animal liberation.

I got into an argument, in person, on a street in Brooklyn, with the owner of Mike's Hot Honey in 2018 who insisted his product was vegan and that many vegans use honey and he sells to them.

I wanted to take my husband to a fancy restaurant for his birthday a few years ago and there were a few restaurants that advertised plant based tasting menus...2/3 with fucking honey. Including a restaurant that was totally 'plant based'.

But I only knew because I thought to ask what they meant by plant based.

Serves me right for considering eating at a restaurant.
