    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.

        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

        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…
