The French government issued a decree Tuesday banning the term “steak” on the label of vegetarian products, saying it was reserved for meat alone.

    Then buy bacon. Or go online and try to find some info about what could resemble bacon in your country/area. Don’t see why all fucking people that have been buying bacon expecting to buy bacon now need to sift through other stuff to find, you know, bacon.

    Doesn’t really matter the reason why vegans are vegans. You made a choice, deal with it and I am not saying this in a snarky way, we shouldn’t change the meaning orlf word and mislabel food because of your choice and your personal tastes that still lean towards bacon - I can’t blame you for that BTW

      I don’t know where you shop, but Vegan shit has its own section here in Canada. For the frozen stuff, it’s in the hippie aisle with the chia seeds and the quinoa.

        In my country the tofu and meat imitation products are in their own section, but the vegan vegetables, the vegan potatoes, the vegan bread, the vegan pasta, the vegan sauces, the vegan fruits, the vegan chips, the vegan biscuits, the vegan coffee, and the vegan TV dinners are in the normal places for those things.

      Why are you so set on making it harder for shoppers to know what they’re buying?

      I don’t understand why you seem to be so angry about it. I won’t buy “real” bacon because it’s terrible for both climate and pigs.
      Nobody is mislabeling food. Vegan bacon is the perfect term for a vegan bacon substitute and nobody ever bought something labeled “vegan bacon” and was then disappointed that it didn’t contain meat. It’s not like manufacturers try to deceive people. The stuff is clearly labeled as vegan and it’s usually even sold from a different shelf.
