    Meat lobbyists forcing regulations on products that threaten the meat industry.

    Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

      It just did. European Parliament voted for regulations protecting consumers from deception used by the plant pulp industry.

          It’s not about accidentally eating vegetables, it’s about products being marketed in a misleading way. If I order a pizza with bacon on it, I don’t want turkey, let alone a vegetable substitute.

          However many terms are already agnostic, eg pattie, burger; these kind of things should be allowed. Also, “cooks like ground beef” isn’t a problem, however maybe the way the words highlight “ground beef” might be. Like, the “cooks from” and “made from plants” are white text on a light coloured background, as if to try and make it easier to miss.

          There are already laws against intentionally misleading people with advertising. Done properly, this is just an extension of that, to counter businesses trying to get around the current law.

        Yay global warming solved! XD

        /s

        It’s insane seeing adults make these crying baby comments about not eating as much meat so we all don’t boil alive.

        Throw out that pathetic ego, it isn’t doing you any favors.

          It is. It would even be better if all the public lying was banned, not just this one.
