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.
I wonder if sausages with skin not made from intestine will still be allowed to be called sausages, since that’s what a sausage is supposed to be made from.
I guess they’ll have to come up with a new name for blood sausage too.
Interestingly, those names carry different meanings in different languages. For example, a “Wurst” in Germany (which now has to be meat) is either the meat based food product or alternatively a sausage shaped object. So the whole EU ruling makes even less sense because it removes long established meanings from words or makes those illegal.
blood sausage
Like haggis? Or black pudding?
Strictly speaking, black pudding is a kind of blood sausage, but we’d probably use the former term for the entire category in Britain.
Some people classify haggis as a sausage, but it’s definitely not a blood sausage.
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.
Next up, no labeling “hot dogs” as such, unless they include dog meat in them!
Don’t forget that squirrel, raccoon, and possum meat. That’s where the magic flavor comes from!
Is it just me or do the burgers smell like cat food?
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
Yeah I know my comment was 3 whole paragraphs and you can’t read gud, but I actually managed to address that
Nope
