EU lawmakers voted on Wednesday to ban the use of the term “veggie-burger” and limit food descriptions such as steak, escalope and sausage to products containing meat, part of a proposed EU law to protect farmers.
As a form of protest the producers could call their veggie-burgers something like “veggie- big uncooked round grain based edible rotund” which conveniently shortens to veggie-b.u.r.g.e.r. Simply make the dots between the letters tiny and you barely have to change the packaging.
Hope that’s legal and someone does that. Those idiots who made this law would blow a gasket.
Or just do it like they do with vegan cheese and call it “burger alternative” so it’s legally not a burger.
