    I trust when something is “vegan” to mean it’s vegan, but “plant-based” means I’m checking the ingredients list to confirm that they know what they’re saying.

    I’ve been to enough restaurants that refer to something as “plant-based”, but they just mean the burger patty (served with cheese and a ranch-based sauce!).

      A “meat-based” patty isn’t 100% meat either. There might me onions, flour, egg, salt, spices, etc. “plant-based” is a term that just tells you “most of it is noch meat” and so you have to check the ingredients making it a pretty useless term.

      Also fuck everybody who makes a meat-alternative-food that isn’t vegan because they added 1% of some shit…
