Much like the words "fake steak" or "not really steak" wouldn't confuse me into thinking it was really real steak, just because the word "steak" is in there, "vegan steak" doesn't either, because I'm not incredibly stupid
Just like with vegan cheese, vegan parmesan, vegan milk and so on. How am I supposed to look for substitutes when shopping online or in a supermarket?
Big fat L, France. Caved in to the meat industry, maybe next you can support Germany in keeping the gasoline cars on the roads for longer.
What do you mean by
Keeping the gasoline cars on the roads for longer?> >
(an agreement has been reached in the meantime)
Well, there are countries in EU where the annual income is like 20k gross. Electric cars, today, are still quite a luxury for many

Just buy a block of tofum then you can cut out your own shapes!
My dad's stupid argument won on the French government scale ugh
No one was confused. The meat industry just successfully lobbied for these word bans because it makes marketing of alternative products more difficult. They've been trying to get similar word bans in many countries for years because they think it will improve their bottom line.
And especially for generic things like sausages... what are they gonna call them, that's not extremely unappetising?
"Nutrient tubules"?
And that's gonna be less confusing...?
Discouraging sales of alternative products is the point, they'd love that name haha
🙄 - as a consumer, no, I was never confused
No one was ever confused. During this time, a shitty sausage brand puts out "vegetal sausages" made frome peas.... and eggs.
"Sausage" is different, in that it implies ground up food stuffed in a casing, but not necessarily meat. For example, consider some of the abominations this guy makes.
I know what that link is without clicking. Here we go!
🎵Baaap 🎵Baaap-Baaap 🎵Baaap... 🎵Baaap. Thonk.
I'm glad that was cleared up. Now how can I tell if my swordfish steak is made from beef or not? Also I need a lot of help with these beefsteak tomatoes.
Not world news worthy
I feel like it's news worthy to put a light on the unfathomable stupidity of our government.
