I can't get near canola oil, it's horrible stuff. There are very few mayos out there that I can eat because of that particular sensitivity and it seems all the vegan varieties (which were good years ago and have probably improved since then) use it. There's nothing magic about eggs and the vegan varieties are usually spiced up a little better with lemon and maybe some mustard and are usually better than the real thing, which tends to be rather bland.

This fight is silly. It's not like they're calling themselves mayonnaise, labeling that has been protected as a dressing made from egg and oil. This is a silly fight and the egg people need to be slapped down hard.
