And of course, bisto has been veggie for decades
Bacon is the CUT of meat, Bacon is not strictly the final product.
Chips is the final product. Before you cook it, it is the potato, albeit cut up into size, how it is cooked determines the final product and what you cook it with and in.
English is my 3rd language, and I understand that distinction. Evidently, you do not.
As for rocket science (not surgery....as the English saying goes) lol..I'll stop right here, perhaps there is an issue of understanding of the terminology in English here after all.
Since Chips can be cooked in either animal fat or vegetable fat. Plant-based Chips tells the customer what it is cooked in. It is simply more information into the cooking process and ingredients. If you don't care about his kind of thing then you don't care. I don't personally but those that do care, it is important.
I imagine you to be one of those people in Asia, if you tell them you have a nut and seeds allergy, they will go "fine fine, no nuts"...and then proceed to put seamen seeds oil in their cooking. They will come back and say "there are no nuts in here!" Just because physically there is no visual clue that there is this ingredient, it doesn't mean it is not in the dish or aborbed in it. All the while you are going into shock.
It is a total and complete lack of understanding of both cooking and meaning in language.
1) the real "snowflakes" are meat eaters who get REALLY REALLY ANGRY at the thought of people wanting to know whether food has animal in it or not
2) that Emp Fab can only use words literallyand with zero recourse to context. Its raining cats and dogs here Emp. Should I be worried about them leaving stains on my roof?
I believe @RandallFlagg is our resident stew expert.
as in, imagine some hipster ponce saying in a whiny southern accent - " oh yaah, I'm what you'd call a plant based human, yah, as in only eat corn husks and sniff nettles, that's all I need bro..."
I'll go back to dipping my plant-based quiche in my jam jar of craft beer.
It's about choice It gives vegan people a choice to wear a style that would normally be a no go for them. It shows non-vegan people that they also have a choice that doesn't involve animal death. Just like faux fur became an alternative to real fur, and eventually showed there was no need for the real thing.
However, I will say lots of "vegan leather" products are pretty shit. I've had a few belts that wore out in a matter of weeks, they just have no flex and don't wear in like good leather will. DM boots are at the better end, but even they wear noticeably differently. I do have some vegan suede trainers that are great, but they are more comparable to canvas than real suede, but I'm okay with that.

So can we conclude it's not plant based then.
No one would bat an eye if it was described as "Vegan" despite the inaccuracy that the chips are not "Vegan" since they don't eat anything at all.
Heaven forfend that they use the green V logo as chips are not the letter V nor does the word chip even contain the letter V.
You might therefore insist that every single item on the menu should say. "This is food which a person on a vegan diet can eat without compromising their vegan diet", or you could just accept the current use of "Plant Based" in relation to food stuffs.
Vegan food could be demonstrated via the wobbling of enraged gammony jowls combined with the rhythmic throbbing of a forehead vein.
