MODERATORS
I see a lot of honey in 'plant based' foods.
This is what plant based capitalism gets us - selling products to a wider audience vs the struggle for animal liberation.
I got into an argument, in person, on a street in Brooklyn, with the owner of Mike's Hot Honey in 2018 who insisted his product was vegan and that many vegans use honey and he sells to them.
I wanted to take my husband to a fancy restaurant for his birthday a few years ago and there were a few restaurants that advertised plant based tasting menus...2/3 with fucking honey. Including a restaurant that was totally 'plant based'.
But I only knew because I thought to ask what they meant by plant based.
Serves me right for considering eating at a restaurant.
