but for y'all LA folks or non LA folks that are looking for new reasons to be paranoid or pissed off with the food you're eating

    I was at a family reunion on the east coast this past weekend and as a way to deflect attention to all the attention I was paying to lables I was able to blow a bunch of the fam's minds by pointing out that "Non Dairy Creamer" actually has dairy products in it

    it's a beautiful dream...but some day...just maybe there will be REAL truth in labling laws and the consumer will have the information and protection that we deserve

    This does surprise me. Why would a restaurant establish themselves as a vegan restaurant if they want to cheat? I will probably be a little suspicious of vegan restaurants in northern California, too, now if I go to one. Hopefully most of them are what they say they are. It's always hard to tell what's in your food when going to restaurants. Nice study.

      FYI, if you really read the rest of the article, and some links, it looks like Taiwan (where most of the food is manufactured) is requiring new labeling laws as of July 1. In Taiwan, apparently egg is not generally an issue, so they don't always include it on the label. As they mention in the article, it should be getting better.
