Main Topic

We dish (hehe) about the recent kerfuffle over Just Foods serving animal products at a recent event, a similar situation with Impossible Foods, and the Minimalist Baker “scandal.” We revisit our position that plant-based companies and products shouldn’t be labeled or referred to as “vegan” for this very reason – it sets unreasonable expectations and makes veganism look wishy-washy.
