if it is plants, it is not Eggs best way for a product to not work is to label it as "plant based" *insert_animal_food_name*

  The product is called “ vEGGie.” The branding is silly, but certainly doesn’t seem deceptive.

  If you consider a chicken that only eats corn, an egg is made of corn (and air, water and whatever the chicken eats that's not her food). It's just that it's fabricated by a chicken.

  This is so very annoying especially in vegan restaurants. Why is everything called "Chicken" or "Beef" when its really gardein? I wish they would just call it ground chuck or something so its clear what you are being served. It's confusing even for vegetarians sometimes.

  Are you equally pedantic on the colloquial classification of nuts when a large portion of the "nuts" we eat are actually drupes? Or fruit vs vegetable classifications? Perhaps language is a tool used to convey meanings and ideas in ways that are quickly and concisely understandable. The "plant-based" insert_animal_food_name allows people to understand that this food item is meant to mimic an animal-based food item, except it's derived from plants.

    That's a good point and a good question My personal issue is i then expect the product to taste similar I got disappointed when i first tried "almond" milk, i was expecting the taste to not differ from the cow milk i used to drink, and it was simply just a disgusting taste.. that made me puke..
