#is it just a new diet fad thing or an american disgusting contamination based food production lawsuit liability thing

there has to be a better term than plant-based. it seems like such a cop out. like it doesn't guarantee something is vegan, if that was the case they would label it vegan right? seems like a phrase to invoke veganism but leave wiggle room for contaminates and non-plant derived additives because, well, it's plant based, not 100% entirely composed of plant material. like the phrase is obviously completely unregulated and linguistically roasted vegetables with butter added are still plant based. a vegetable broth risotto with bits of pancetta is still like 90% plants. what does it mean. if it's vegetarian or vegan just write that
