According to the New Jersey Law Journal , Unilever, a company that sells mayonnaise as Best Food and Hellmann’s, is suing Hampton Creek, the makers of Just Mayo, for alleged false advertising.





The lawsuit claims that Hampton Creek is falsely advertising the plant-based mayonnaise to the public as real mayonnaise by calling it Just Mayo. Unilever has concluded that since one of the main ingredients in traditional mayonnaise is eggs, and since Just Mayo does not contain any eggs, Hampton Creek is in violation of the law.





Have you ever heard of anything so ridiculous?





In addition, Unilever claims that the name Just Mayo is causing its own sales to drop and the mislabeling will only lead to more "irreparable harm" to the company.





Instead of suing Hampton Creek for falling sales, perhaps Unilever should have a look in its own backyard. If the company did, it would find miserable birds mercilessly exploited for their eggs, crammed in battery cages, and given space no larger than an iPad to live their entire lives.





If there’s one thing Americans can’t stand, it’s animal abuse. And when a product like Just Mayo offers them enjoyment of the same flavor they’ve come to love without the horrific animal torture, they are going to vote with their dollars.
