I love the complaint: "It's our free speech right to call our products meat even though there are no animal products involved."

Uh... That's not how "free speech" works - unless you're a Democrat.

    AH, now this speech, Physically harms and/or defrauds/lies/fools, the consumer.

    NO business, should do anything to defraud/lie/fool or physically harm the end users of it's products or services...that is not only not smart, it's downright unethical.

    That kind of speech has a cost and is not free.

    Free speech doesn’t mean selling A as not A or not A as A.

    I don't see any free speech argument. Free speech doesn't give you the right to commit fraud.
