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

    Nah just hate the approach. In fact I am all for alternative food, as long as they are labelled properly. I do come from a place that similarly to France, has a strong culture around food and I hate seeing people fucking around and talking about words as ‘metaphores’ and how about you read labels carefully.

    As I mentioned elsewhere, vegetarians/vegans have more to lose by mislabelling than anyone else (would anyone like a vegan product that actually contains chicken eggs?)

    But yeah, I am a meat eater. I had similar arguments in another platoform a long time ago about GMOs. Me being strongly of the opinion that they can live in a supermarket but clearly labelled, downvoted to oblivion too because fuck the customer they should just learn to read or trust the vendor that what’s in their food is what they want to eat ( whatever their preference might be)
