Plant based foods
Hiya,
Has everyone noticed how everywhere now it’s talking about plant based foods rather than vegetarian/vegan? Is it just me that is put off by the term ‘plant based’? I’m not a vegetarian, but I do quite like veggie options, but the words ‘plant based’ really turn me off, possibly as I’m not overly keen on perfumy tastes in my food, and whilst I know this doesn’t mean that, I can’t help but picture flowers when I think plant based! Anyone else? Or am I just weird?! 😂 |

I understand what you are saying and I think it is trying to steer away from the 'vegan' label (which for some is very off putting) - Vegan is a lifestyle rather than just the food you eat so by saying it it plant based it covers all dietary needs. I'm not sure what else they could call it without being long winded. |

I think of flowers and plants as different things; they're labelled as either plants or flowers in shops & on websites.
So, the term 'plant based foods' never makes me think of flowers! |

I think vegan has become a bit militant, I also think plant-based reflects a lot of people who aren't vegan but want to reduce meat and dairy for environmental reasons. I'm a meat eater, but trying to reduce my meat and dairy consumption. I was vegetarian for years but ended up eating so much dairy which is obviously poor from both animal welfare and environmental point of view.

Yes we have said that recently. I don’t really like the term plant based, it doesn’t make me think of flowers but I am not sure if it means vegetarian or vegan. I like vegetarian options at times, but vegan is another matter and I would rather know if it is vegan or not before I order.

I would always interpret plant based as vegan.

Plant based environmentally friendly food, processed and packaged up in loads of plastic and cardboard, made to look and 'taste' like meat?
No thanks. If Tristian and Jacinda (other names are available) want to kid themselves this is saving the planet then let them crack on. When I eat veg it comes from the actual plant, raw then I prepare and cook it. Radical I know. |
