    No, some are made by fining with animal products like isinglass (fish based) or gelatin (usually pig based)

      Plant based ≠ 100% plant matter. Your absolutism is ridiculous and reminiscent of racist “one drop” policies.

        That’s like saying a burger is plant based since the patty and cheese are the only non-plant based parts. That’s ridiculous and just not what the word plant-based means.

          No it isn’t. Plant-based means based on plants, which a beer is and a burger isn’t.

          Movies and TV shows can be based on a true story without being documentaries,. It’s the same thing with plant-based food that isn’t 100% vegan.

            Language is interesting in this way. Same words in different contexts mean different things.

            “Based on true events” = “Contains traces of what actually happened”

            “Plant based” = “Does not contain animal products but can contain mushrooms even though they are not plants”

              Well that’s just stupid and counter-intuitive, not to mention surrendering clarity to appease absolutists 🤦

                It all depends on what is actually trying to be communicated. With your definition most meals would be plant based so why even bother to say it. With definition where plant based means no animal products it communicates that it is fine for vegans and it’s likely less offensive for people allergic to word “vegan”.

        Wtf else could it possibly mean dude? I’m not even vegan but that’s exactly what I’d expect. Plant based is a meaningless term if you can throw animal parts in and still call it plant based.

          There are more than just plants and animals. Mushrooms are neither plant nor animal. Fungi are their own classification
