This year will be remembered as one in which we all faced significant challenges and opportunities, but despite the turbulence, the vegan food and drink industry has once again come out thriving.
I got into an argument, in person, on a street in Brooklyn, with the owner of Mike’s Hot Honey in 2018 who insisted his product was vegan and that many vegans use honey and he sells to them.
I wanted to take my husband to a fancy restaurant for his birthday a few years ago and there were a few restaurants that advertised plant based tasting menus…2/3 with fucking honey. Including a restaurant that was totally ‘plant based’.
But I only knew because I thought to ask what they meant by plant based.
Serves me right for considering eating at a restaurant.
I see a lot of honey in ‘plant based’ foods.
This is what plant based capitalism gets us - selling products to a wider audience vs the struggle for animal liberation.
