This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Bought a new pack of a hair product which now uses 6% less natural ingredients and is no longer vegan (lemmy.zip)

That's interesting! I also wonder if its a legal shielding technique to abandon the "vegan" label in case one of their upstream suppliers changes without notifying the manufacturer. If you never claim it to be vegan, you've in no danger of violation.

Vegan is not a regulated term. Plenty of products that say they are vegan still have animal products, such as honey.

There are people that hold specific definitions of the term "vegan". If you never use the word, you can never run afoul of anyone's definition.
