Then I think you'd have a complaint under existing laws, rather than trying to make a mountain out of a mole-hill. The same would be true in reverse, if a product claimed prominently to be tofu based but contained meat.

I think it's very, very telling that part of the desired result for the meat industry is to prevent these products from sharing shelf space.

I think that's fair. We already have a healthy set of regulatory requirements around product labeling, and I'm not really opposed to tweaking the labeling requirements around meat vs non-meat products. Regulating shelf-space does seem to be crossing an unnecessary line.

And if non-Kosher food tried to get put in the Kosher food section and went under brands such as Beyond Kosher?
