minus-squareBumblefumble@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-22 years agoThat’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.
minus-squareVikingHippie@lemmy.wtflinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down3·2 years agoNo 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.
minus-squareneutronicturtle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·2 years agoLanguage 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”
