zardozThe name implies there are meat-based potatoes … so where are they! 😤
I hate to be this guy. And I apologize. However they are likely referring to the dairy that traditionally comes in mashed potatoes.
amniotic druidYou’re 100% right but these should be called vegan if thats the case
That's a synonym for plant-based.
Vegan is a loaded term for a lot of people. They recoil in horror at the thought of something being "vegan". But "plant-based" isn't anywhere near as vile, for those people.
Actually no “Plant-based” is a meaningless phrase that doesn’t actually denote whether a food product contains animal products or not
Not sure if I agree it’s meaningless. In most cases it does mean what it implies, even if it doesn’t have regulatory backing.
In the UK we’ve got all sorts of labels like 5 a day, the red tractor to imply it’s of a certain standard and from a domestic farm or even the vegan label. They’re all basically meaningless labels rather than something that’s based on the actual product, but they still tend to track with what they’re saying they are in most cases.
Don’t take everything at face value, but also don’t waste your time worrying that everyone is lying to you barefaced
