Plant Based is just the product line within the Nature’s Promise brand. The other product lines are Free From and Organic I believe. It’s still dumb but the label “plant based” isn’t meant to describe the tofu.

I’m guessing tofu comes under the plant based products available under the brand nature’s promise. I don’t think they’re marketing the tofu specifically as plant based.

I believe there is actually some kind of fishy tofu? I’ve seen it listed at hotpot places and Asian supermarkets.

Well, I had to explain to one of my boomer parents the other night that soy is a natural ingredient and comes from a plant. When asked what plant it was, I told them soybeans. If people are really thinking that soy is somehow not a natural product, our society is in for a world of trouble.

I think the “plant-based” term emerged as an alternative to “vegetarian” for the people who think vegetarians are a bunch of sissy-boi commies trying to destroy their way of life lol.

😂 I’ve also laughed at that same Stop and Shop tofu package. And I’ve seen “gluten-free” on ***bottled water***

There was a while when bottled water was being labeled as “cholesterol free”.
