So, please stay on track. The bottom line is that you can't come up with a response to what people are saying - which is, in case you missed it, that Hampton Creek shouldn't be calling there product mayonnaise when it isn't mayonnaise.

That has nothing to do with animal rights - it's more about false advertising.

I'm glad Hampton Creek is making an effort to save the planet and all the critters on it, one egg at a time. Really. That doesn't change the fact that they have over-stepped and are probably going to have their sustainable cotton-clad arses handed to them in court.

And that's the point.
