Next up, no labeling “hot dogs” as such, unless they include dog meat in them!
Honestly I think that this might be a good thing for veggie prosucts
Some vegetable products make for pretty bad versions of their meat based counterpart but would be great products on their own accor
Yes, but also why does the government need to be involved?
I understand wanting clarity in good naming and standards, but I’ll never confuse a tofu burger or reconstituted mycelium protein nuggets with actual meat.
There is no real risk to the consumer in having language like tofu burger and veggie steak
why does the government need to be involved?
Because consumers should not be misled by deceiving manufacturers.
If you see “plant burger” and you are misled to think that it must be made of beef, that says a lot more about you than the manufacturer.
plant burger
There is no such thing
I ate one last night. I assure you that plant burgers exist.
plant burgers
*heavily processed plant pulp discs
as opposed to heavily processed animal pulp discs
Yeah I know my comment was 3 whole paragraphs and you can’t read gud, but I actually managed to address that
Nope
Stupid reason. Burger used to mean pork and beef. There were laws for this. Now we have chicken burgers?? Yeah nobody cares.
Stupid reason
Would it be OK to sell some cheap dog meat burgers as “vegan”? I meant taste would be probably the same but still misleading, don’t you think?
Straw man argument. That’s not what’s happening here.
This is exactly what is happening here. Heavily processed plant pulp being named like meat to deceive the customers, otherwise almost nobody with even a shadow of good taste would eat this shit.
Lol wtf are you talking about dude?
No vegetarian/vegan sees this packaging as tricking them into eating meat.
No meat eater is seeing this packaging as meat. And if they do get tricked into eating this product, holy shit they accidentally ate a plant.
God forbid you have some fiber in your diet.
I’m very much against the self righteous types of vegans that go around reminding everyone like they’re an Arch user.
But… This is a stupid waste of EU time and resources. We have a lot more pressing matters to concern ourselves with than something literally nobody is confused about.
Some people in certain positions must be incredibly petty to even suggest this.

In my 2 decades online ive seen vastly more posts bitching about vegans than actual vegans preaching. Such a fucking big-meat psy-op
I’ve had militant vegan neighbours when I was a student. I don’t know how they did it, but they found ways of turning every conversation about them and their “superior” life choices.
Then there are the vegans I sometimes meet during my summer work ours; the ones standing on the street and bothering everyone walking past them in a very persistent manner. Like a jehova’s witness.
I’m not saying every vegan is like this. I think I’ve met more vegans that didn’t rub it in everyone’s face than ones that did. But consider yourself lucky that you haven’t met anyone like that in twenty years.
Yeah, except they’re deciding to ban the word “burger” from veggie-burgers??
“hamburger” is named what it is, because it wasn invented in Hamburg.
This is politically-correct type idiocy.

It’s not about being politically correct, it’s about appeasing the meat industry lobbies and helping them keep market share.
