More than a dozen food companies have urged the European Commission not to ban the use of words such as “sausage” and “burger” for non-meat products.

Confused about what? It’s designed to be the same product, but without meat. And they’re always labeled as such. It’s not confusing, it’s meat companies wanting to fuck over their competition by banning the label
How will this fuck over their competition? Like, what’s the actual argument there?
So not the same product.
Why do these companies insist on trying to trick people into buying their disgusting fake food? The people who specifically want that kind of thing know how to find it.
Put this shit in a separate isle in the supermarket so people don’t accidentally buy this crap.
And sure, it’s labelled but that doesn’t mean that it’s clear enough when you are going through the supermarket in a hurry after a long day at work. Happened to me multiple times that I accidentally bought a fake vegan version of something because it sat right next to the real product in an almost identical package.
I don’t mind food that happens to be vegetarian or vegan, there are plenty of delicious things that don’t contain meat or animal products. What I have an issue with is this ultra-processed fake food that pretends to be real food.
