    accidentally buying congealed vegetable oil when I’m trying to buy cheese, and compressed bean patty when I’m trying to buy burgers

    You must actively trying to misread those as they are very clearly make, in their own ‘vegetarian alternatives’ securing of the shop.

    From the way you write I cannot see how your reading comprehension would be so low as to ‘accidentally’ buy these products.

      It was the worst cheesy bread I’ve ever experienced. And that was after triple checking to make sure it was mozzarella. I can’t remember where on the packaging it finally said that it was vegan, but it was anything but prominent.

      Ever since, I get downvoted in threads like these, because I know from experience how much making the distinction matters to consumers.

      If it says “cheese”, it should be cheese, end of story.
