Same, but I'm also a vegan, and the organic and/or non-GMO product is often the only one without animal ingredients.
Just out of curiosity since I assume you know more about this, is "plant based" the same as vegan? Because that's the hip new term but I've always wondered if they're equivalent or if they do have some animal products which is why they're dancing around the word vegan. I've never gotten a straight answer from the people at the store/restaurant.
Unfortunately, the answer is "It depends". Although plant-based foods are usually suitable for vegans, it isn't a regulated term, so you can't be sure. Also, I think the term "vegan" has negative connotations that "plant-based" doesn't, so marketers prefer to use that term instead.
Thank you!
