@ifixcoinops@retro.social that wouldn't surprise me most of that stuff can't be sold in Canada, either either they don't sell this in Canada, or if they do they have to change the recipe significantly, and most of the time it tastes better because most of the restricted ingredients is cheap crap that isn't particularly good for your health and the US use them for purely financial reasons

@ifixcoinops@retro.social oh yeah, as a vegan i can report that getting vit D(3) supplements is tricky cause its lanolin very often. A side-rant now we're talking about drinks and veganism: here in the nether regions there's been a sugar tax since a couple of years now. Sugary drinks are more expensive. Boo, but ok whatever. BUT: ofcourse the milk industry got an exemption. So now a carton of chocolate milk doesn't get taxed if it's made from squozen cow, but if you dare to let the bovines in peace and bother some oats or soy beans you have to pay the sugar tax. AND for some reason fruit juices, even without added sugar, dó fall into the tax. So juice companies, and imagine me waving maniacally with my arms at this point despite the early hour, STARTED ADDING TINY AMOUNTS OF DAIRY TO CARTONS OF JUICE TO AVOID THE TAX. Capitalism is a dystiopia.
