    Not sure if they changed it or not, but I'm not seeing that when I go there.

  The labeling mess is “preventing consumers from showing how deeply they care about this issue by voting with their dollars,” That's one of the reasons I'm just plain vegetarian: yes, there are humane options, but I don't feel like navigating the maze and having my goodwill possibly taken advantage of. In the end I do get to vote with my dollars, but instead of getting some of my money, the industry gets none.

    OOH, I have been slowly moving towards vegetarianism for similar reasons (I don't like conscious beings being raised in poor conditions). OTOH, plants may feel pain [1] so picking what I eat to minimize pain feels like a race to the bottom.

      That's straight up conflationary bollocks.
