I mean they have specific races that they call "milk cows" and "egg laying hens", which are bred, live tortured lives in cramped spaces, crammed full of food and then killed, only for the optimization of daily eggs. In the industry definition that is vegetarian, but in mine it isn't at all. Of course the industry has won that fight ("all non-meat is vegetarian")from a legal perspective so they can call almost anything they want vegetarian.

The #vegetarian and #vegan choices in the supermarket are so much more elaborate than ever before.For me it's even different, the issue being that IKEA/the industry is abusing the vegetarian label for products like these which aren't. Vegetarians don't kill animals for food, yet these "vegetarian" products marketed by the industry include dairy from from installations purely dedicated to the production of such egg and milk. Their production processes are not vegetarian because they simply don't rely on existing cattle, as they breed and kill them for the product.
