  • What I’m insinuating here is that there is a weird bias/over regulations in labeling vegan products, that is not applied to other products.

    Eg - why do businesses get to sell “crab meat” which is not crab but other fishes, and this is not considered misleading? Or “fruit snacks” in the US that are candy and contain no fruit.

    But ag wants to control terms like “milk” and not allow things like “oat milk” to be called oat milk. There’s been pushes to not allow presenting beef alternatives as beef alternatives.

    I’ve seen it argued that “fake meat” is inherently misleading, while if I buy “grapefruit juice” at the store it is likely to be more apple or pear, and there is not really a push to regulate there.

    Is that really a concern? I’m US-based, so our cops are sadists…

    One of my projects is something that I would be willing to be arrested for. That kind of civil disobedience would draw attention to my cause, and it is one that I think most people would be empathetic too - my mission is drawing attention to abuse at a children’s psychiatric facility.

    I did have an adventure today - even got chased down by a dog! Feel like a proper crimethinc member.
