The center for consumer freedom would disagree ':)

Yes, gotcha! We had a Thai delivery service like that we used to order from. Despite clearly labeling the dishes as vegan they regularly used fishsauce, put eggs in it or even chicken once... Super frustrating and there wasn't many other vegan options. After many fuck-ups we lost trust in that restaurant we got super paranoid everytime a dish tasted "fishy" so we stopped ordering from there.

Fish is not vegetarian tho, they usually use seaweed and mushroom sauce in vegetarian dishes

Someone cares to explain why this comment gets downvoted?

In my experience the only non-vegan ingredient in asian vegetarian dishes is eggs, and around here it is absolutely no problem to ask for extra-tofu instead. What sauces are you refering to?

Bro, ich habe schon einige Kumpels mit triefenden veganen Burgern vergiftet die nicht glauben konnten, dass da kein Tier drinn war. Klar schmeckt der vegane Fertigpatty aus dem Discounter nicht so geil aber wenn man sich gut mit veganen Produketen auskennt und kochen kann, dann ist zumindest der Burger ein Klacks.

Very interesting read, gives me flashbacks of my old self 10 years ago when i started asking myself the exact same questions. It took me two years to gather enough experience, cookingskills and knowledge to realise there is no strong reason left for me not to be vegan. To me the realisation that there is no ethical alternative only fully made sense after i reached that point where i felt confident beeing able to sustain myself healthily and comfortably without animal products. I think lots of people feel pressured when beeing confronted with the ethical issues of animal farming because they don't feel empowered beeing able to change their behaviours.

i never saw plant-based milk even near the cow-milk sector in any store i've been at, usually there is a seperate shelf for those. Is that different for the UK? Idk who needs to be protected here but it doesn't seem to me that the consumer is in any danger of buying & drinking the wrong kind of milk :x

We will see (or not) who has the last laugh, crabs or homo sapiens sapiens?

Was thinking the same, nothing in there really striking me as innovative. But good to know Fraunhofer institute is dedicating ressources into plant-based research.

interesting read, always good to know to which stimuli our primate brain reacts. But i fear marketeers (is that how you call people in marketing?) will use this to maximise profit instead of reducing waste
