Any time I see a meat intentionally misspelled I assume it’s for legal reasons because it’s plant based

Unconventional spelling in general is obnoxious. Kaytlynn? Cydnee? I will judge your parents hard

Headline is misleading. This isn’t a scenario where they let the thief skate because of some “cruel and unusual” stipulation. The cop didn’t follow legal protocol for a number of other reasons, so the ag didn’t have enough credible evidence to move forward

That’s because you barely absorb any B12 from supplements. They’re essentially useless. Unfortunately, most people will require B12 injections.

Yeah it’s not that simple. My dad is on B12 injections and he’s still anemic

I don’t see why geography would be a factor we literally have a state in the middle of an ocean. I’m sure they considered transport with Quebec as a thoroughfare

Trudeau isn’t elected. That’s not how Canada works. Parties are elected, conditions are formed and the Prime Minister is appointed

I remember back in the day when Quebec had serious thoughts of independence, economic experts said the most viable thing for the rest of Canada was to join the US

But by highlighting a comment that says that only African-Americans can use the word slave, that’s erasure of the slavery the indigenous people of their home country endured. You don’t find that problematic?

As THEY granted to it is what I’m discussing. They highlighted it and changed their name, citing it. All I’m doing is calling them out

That’s totally fine, I get it, but highlighting a ridiculous statement like “only African Americans are allowed to used slaves” when slavery has impacted numerous cultures and races recently is absolutely, mind boggingly stupid. Maybe even a little offensive considering Australia’s history with slavery was primarily involving Aboriginal people
But also they’ve pretty much disqualified from calling themselves punk if they are seriously concerned about commercial issues

This article is discussing company names, not product descriptors. Krispy Kreme can be called “Meat and Potatoes.” Plenty of “Maple” brand companies that make syrups with no maple in them, for example.
Also, I’m pretty sure that even if they called the individual doughnuts crispy, they aren’t going to get in trouble because they aren’t crispy.
“Cheeze” or “Chik’n” are legally required terms for plant based foods, though.
