Yet I find it disturbing when I buy something that contains astonishing animal products.
E.g. I bought some truffle mayonaise. I expect it to contain eggs, but not fish. Indeed, after getting home and reading the fine print, it said anchovies were used. WTF.
Ramen noodles are also a game of chance. Big Chinese writing, a pic of veg on noodles, then the very fine print often buries the use of sea creatures. I spend a lot of time reading a huge list of ingredients (without a magnifying glass) in attempt to be diligent… and I still get burnt.
The injustice of accidentally buying veg that someone expects to be meat is far less of an injustice than the inverse of that. Yet the EU is fixated on regulating veg suppliers.
They can ban products from being labeled like that, but they can’t force people to call them by an alternative name. I’ll always call the “no -dairy oat drink” oat milk because it just makes sense in day to day life.
