Bag of Milton’s Protein Crackers at Costco Langford BC. Why bother advertising that it is “plant-based” when it contains milk? I mean, I’ve seen products stating that they “may contain milk” but this one straight up says it does black on white!

I’m being gaslit by a bag of crackers…

    By not sucking up to you, I am not defending them

    Based does not mean 100%

    Use your brain and buy products labelled as vegan. Defend veganism, stop being the problem.

      You seem to think that people who label products containing animal products as “plant-based” should get away with it. Is this not the case? Because if so, you are defending them, because you’re essentially saying we should live in a “buyer beware” world and that the customer is to blame for being scammed.

      Mealymouthed misleading advertising bullshit should be illegal, corporate advertising freaks who trick consumers with clever labeling tricks should get prison time.

        plant-based never meant vegan vegan means vegan

        We do live in a buyer beware world, how are you not aware of that? We were living in a buyer beware world a long time before you were born. Should it be that way? No of course not, but look around you, how much good do you see in the world right now? Use your brain, put some effort in, read labels, and stop buying into obvious bullshit.
