    Plant based ≠ 100% plant matter. Your absolutism is ridiculous and reminiscent of racist “one drop” policies.

      That’s like saying a burger is plant based since the patty and cheese are the only non-plant based parts. That’s ridiculous and just not what the word plant-based means.

        No it isn’t. Plant-based means based on plants, which a beer is and a burger isn’t.

        Movies and TV shows can be based on a true story without being documentaries,. It’s the same thing with plant-based food that isn’t 100% vegan.

          Language is interesting in this way. Same words in different contexts mean different things.

          “Based on true events” = “Contains traces of what actually happened”

          “Plant based” = “Does not contain animal products but can contain mushrooms even though they are not plants”

      Wtf else could it possibly mean dude? I’m not even vegan but that’s exactly what I’d expect. Plant based is a meaningless term if you can throw animal parts in and still call it plant based.
