The European Commission has agreed with the European Parliament to ban the sale of vegetarian whole foods under meat-sounding names such as "steak", "bacon" and "chicken".

EU always had its share of fascists. Now that children protection laws have failed, they are going after another thing not up to their liking.

Not only is this detrimental to future vegans and vegetarians, but it also makes the vegan foods look borderline unapealing to the general populations.

I genuinely don't get how that gonna deter veganism. Those incredible dishes made with greens and peas and taters aren't gonna disappear just because you can't name a fake ass flour meat as bacon. If you can't detach yourself with meat, what's the point? At least hamburger and sausage is basically a patty of something that turn into specific shape, vegan and vegetarian demanding imitation meat always makes me feels like they're unable to let go of meat eating.
