No they don't confuse them because there's nothing to confuse, they _are_ all oil, just different types.
Plant meat however, is not meat. I can absolutely imagine someone confusing vegan steak as real steak, because I see people do far stupider things on a weekly basis.

- ghusto 3y ago> if they don't care at all to look at what they're buying If you mean they don't care enough to check what they're buying, I'd say they care, and have "checked" to a _reasonable_ degree. This is the crux of this entire issue: The "reasonable" part is moving to small print, where as people are used to the words "steak" and "meat" meaning something different to what marketers are using them for now.
