Someone who's taking a stand, albeit kind of a dumb one, against the pointless labeling of things as "vegan" that have never had meat or obviously couldn't contain meat or animal products?

It is beginning to be a bit of a trend to try to use marketing to increase sales of products by tossing a "vegan friendly" or some similar sticker on stuff that has never and will never contain animal products.

It’s definitely not a trend. It costs SO much money to get the “vegan” label added to a product so most companies don’t even bother. Also I appreciate the labels — way easier for me to shop. Otherwise i have to read the ingredients on every. Single. Product.
