    Some commenters play with food definitions and labeling concerns

    A few responses engaged with the premise more literally, questioning how labeling laws allow such misrepresentation and making semantic jokes about what qualifies as organic or vegetables.

    “There are labeling laws. How are they getting away with calling those donuts organic. They're just regular vegetables. Crazy.”
