I think that example wasn't the best as it's probably so obvious it isn't salmon it wouldn't fool anyone. But would you be comfortable if someone sold Hoki or Puffer Fish as Salmon? And then only in the fine print said it was actually Hoki that tasted like salmon or whatever. What if someone sold actual fish but called it Tofu, and only disclosed in the description that it was fish that tasted like Tofu?

That is a world I don't want to live in.

Almost every sushi restaurant in North America sells “crab” that contains 0% crab. Very few people seem to make a fuss about this.

		… and it must be clearly labeled as imitation crab on the menu. They cannot just call it “crab”.

		I must admit I didn't know that. Do you think that is widely known amongst people who eat them? But yes, either way, I find that disturbing.

		Very few people realize what they’re actually eating, I fear.

You already live in that world and don't seem to know it.

		It does seem so. To be fair I live in Australia which does seem to have much stricter labelling requirements than the US.
