    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

    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.
