    The worst one I have seen is:

    Serving Bowl
    made from
    PLANT-BASED
    Fibre

    https://www.healthychoice.com/power-bowls-classic

    So, that cardboard bowl is made out of cardboard, but if you don’t look closely enough, you just ate pork.

      Good morning. I wanted to actually visit that URL to pick a part their claims, but I cannot get the “plant-based” hoo-ha text to appear on my browser view.

      I am however noticing that first they tell you that you’re getting “*all natural” pork as though there would be such a thing as unnatural pork.

      The asterisk disclaimer reads “minimally processed with no artificial ingredients”. The mind spins to comprehend what could be an “artificial” ingredient.

      So they’re basically saying processed pork.

        Here’s a higher resolution image of the packaging. It’s in the bottom right corner, above the nutrition labeling.

          Nice! High five for going the extra mile!

          That’s hilarious. This is NOT cardboard, it’s plant-based fiber, cellulose, you know, cardboard material

            It’s not cardboard, is just made from the stuff that cardboard is made out of… It’s a completely different product entirely.

        The plant-based bowl thing is on the bottom right-hand side on the box. They don’t bring up that claim in the text of the website.
