    Warning Labels on obvious things. Like “contains dairy” on a package of butter. At some point they need to stop and let Darwin take the wheel.

      Dairy is an allergen and has to be marked on packages by law in the states. There are also people who just avoid dairy, and non-dairy butter very much exists.

        Sounds like the problem is the vegans renaming margarine “butter” to avoid the negative connotations

          I’m surprised it was allowed honestly. Thought “big butter” would lobby against it for “confusing the average citizen” or some nonsense.

            That’s what they managed in Europe. So we have sun milk, but don’t you dare naming it soy milk. I am do confused now, I drink my coffee with sun milk from time to time…

            Agreed, it’s not hard to make new names for things. I’m totally fine with calling soy milk that and boob juice the stuff from cows, but at least there is a qualifier. Normal English language Germanic origin behavior. So we could have boob butter and coconut butter, easy…but nooo
