We have several posts on this subject. but they are all over the place.
so I thought maybe a thread devoted to this might be good idea.
We have had discussions and posted news articles about trials and laws that attempt to co-opt words. Like how in some places you can't call plant milk "milk". Or plant-based meat "meat". or vegan butter "butter". etc. Sometimes the plant-based company wins. sometimes the plant-based company loses. And sometimes the plant-based company just default and we get to see things like "mylk", and "soy based beverage" on the grocery shelves.
I thought since this happens a lot we could keep track of it better if it was all in one place.
So to start off.
here is the latest news.
