At the convention, plant-based was listed in the MOST USEFUL/MOST LIKELY TO
SUCCEED category, and someone said the label had been around for years.
Here’s a new one for me: I recently bought a frozen pizza that didn’t
mention it was vegetarian. It listed “planet pepperoni” as one of the
ingredients. (Maybe that doesn’t count since the words are trademarked.)
