i think a lot of papers/websites delberately make up headlines like that to put people off veganism. plays on peoples prejudices and makes them think their right
though i do agree with publicity for veganism

This headline was intentionally deceptive to gain viewers. I see this in my news feeds I get from my ISP also. I think it is coincidentally about vegan issues; they probably do it for all issues.

Me four, a very deceptive headline. I've never thought of Plamil as being vegan Wonka bars, I like the idea though. Does Adrian Ling look like Gene Wilder or Johnny Depp?

No, but neither Gene Wilder nor Johnny Depp look like Mr. Wonka, whom was an asian man.
