- DangitBobby 3y agoThe reason those labels are there is to facilitate us being able to find what we can eat. I don't want to look over 30 menu items before I can find the 3 things I can eat. Same reason they mark "gluten free", "nut free", "low carb", etc.
- petepete 3y agoPlus there are plenty of things that contain meat products without it being obvious, rennet in pesto for example.
- DangitBobby 3y agoYes, I have on occasion accidentally received meat in a dish that wasn't explicitly listed. Sometimes it's a result of me not being familiar enough with the food and sometimes they just don't bother to mention e.g. the salad comes with chicken on top.
- jagged-chisel 3y agoMany years ago I was surprised at “vegetarian” refried beans sitting beside “traditional” on the grocery. Turns out, traditionally, they contain pork fat. Not immediately obvious unless you’re raised making them yourself.
- dghughes 3y agoBut then it gets into the ridiculous where white sugar is used. It's white by filtering it with bone char. At that point it's a religion more than a diet.
- DangitBobby 3y agoIt definitely sounds more like "doing what the diet is" than a religion to me.
- jowea 3y agoMe neither but if no labels means more consumption and more options, might be worth it.
