    I never understood this shit to be more than a ploy by extremist conservatives to prevent change via confusion. No one I know says anything else than “oat milk”, “vegan cheese” etc…

      Agree. I wanted to make a case that it is confusing, but it is not really a big problem. It could lead to me buying wrong “burger” for a grill party, but hey we are gonna eat it anyway. And it will not be disgusting. If someone is into some specific quality meat, they will read the whole label.

      The only reasoning I can come up with is that it’s another way to marginalize another group and label them as “other.”

      They don’t want to spend 10 seconds to self-reflect and maybe admit what they’re doing is cruel to the animals, and instead they’ll do stuff like this to minimize others promoting animal welfare.
