I’m telling a vegan that reading ingredients could be even harder if we don’t regulate and use the right words.

The ingredient list is already regulated. We could make it easier for all with a "animal product" label but at the moment it is only the animal industry which is lobbying for restrictive product names. I am against restrictions of names but in favor for a clear declaration of ingredients.
