Just this week I bought two tubs of vegan yogurt by mistake.
They were the same shape, size and color as the milk based yogurts sitting all around them on the shelf. The only clue was the word "soya" printed at the bottom edge of the tubs in small letters. The kind of letters you'd expect to tell you something like the container size or the country the milk came from.
To be fair this vegan nogurt tastes almost the same as the real thing. But I did not appreciate being tricked into buying it.

- jdasdf 4y agoDo you genuinely not see a problem with people being deceived about what they are buying and eating?

- oregano 4y agoOf course I see a problem. Transparency should always be a top priority. My intention was not to disagree with you, just to provide a different lens to view this. After all, are most American consumers aware of the conditions in which the animals they eat are raised (what they are fed, how they are treated, what types of drugs they are given, how long they live, general quality of life, etc…)? I believe this is just as important as what gets printed on a label.
- mike00632 4y agoDo you realize that almost everyone who buys animal products is being tricked into doing so? It's critical that food companies keep people in the dark about how animal products are made.
