I feel like the definition of plant based also means different things to different people. The most logical definition of plant based is the exclusion of animal-derived foods, full stop. But I've also seen people use plant based to mean plants and also small/moderate amounts of dairy/meat. Hell, I've seen "plant based" used on grocery store product packaging before, even when the product contains dairy or eggs. So I wonder if that's where the confusion comes in from referring to some diets in this study as "plant based" when they clearly have animal products.
Right, so you have no clue either. Maybe the mods should explain why they lock stuff, especially as it wouldn't be the first time a post about veganism gets locked without explanation right as it's picking up steam

Ah yes the secret new rule called, "if I don't think the title is accurate we lock the thread and don't say anything to anyone".

How do you know that's why it was locked?
