    I don’t understand how people could get confused?

    Veggies/Vegans don’t often accidentally buy meat because they’re confused by the packaging

    Does it just boil down to most being thick as (veggie) mince?

      People aren’t confused. It’s the meat industry who feel threatened by plant based products as they rise in popularity, and the meat industry has a lot of power and influence. This is their sad move to fight against plant based alternatives.

      If the packaging were labeled “vegan”, quite a number of them would. And happily pay three times as much for it as regular customers.
