I'm a vegetarian, not vegan, but I was pretty angry when they disappeared from our shelves. There was also some scuttlebutt that Field Roast was reported to the CFIA by a competitor.
As a left leaning Canadian. But don't tell me what to eat. On the other hand, please keep poisonous or otherwise dangerous foods off of our grocery store shelves. It's a fine line to walk.
I kind of get where the government is coming from with the regulation. The problem isn't you, the conscious food eater; the problem is the parent who buys their kids prepackaged lunch "snacks", who is none the wiser to what's in them.

The Apple Sage are the only ones I don't like, but I'm definitely in the minority. The Chipolte ones are an acquired taste, but amazing on a hotdog bun with some mozza while camping.
