But then the problem isn't the name at all right? You just want to hate for hates sake. If the name was the problem, it would be because you read labels and get mistaken. But you don't read labels at all.

And if this law was about helping consumers, they would simply mandate a standardized vegan label on vegan products that imitate other products. This would help both vegans and sensitive little cristals like you.
