I'm guessing they're trying to distract people from the fact that they're cutting back sustainability laws even further.
Nah it was just a day for farmers to bitch and moan and get their way a bit with the European Parliament. Literally, almost everything they were voting on was farming related.
Damn I better go stockpile pea-based mince(d meat).
(If you haven't tried it before, seriously, do. There's so many (traditional) recipes with minced meat for which this is a 1:1 replacement, it opens up an entire new world of cooking for vegetarian/vegan kitchens.)
"Celine Imart, the French member of the parliament who led the initiative..."
Of course it was French-led!
Well I think this law could be fine, depending on how far exactly it goes. I don't really think it's appropriate to call vegetarian products "bacon" or "steak", however "burger" is already generic enough (you can have a beef burger, chicken burger, or veggie burger). In the article image, it says "cooks like ground beef" which should also be ok. A "pattie" is also not necessarily a specific type of meat. Hell, I even take offense at "turkey bacon" - the point is that it is intentionally misleading.
Aldi here are selling plant based products like "no chicken burger". It's literally saying there's no chicken. I wonder if that will get banned.
Depends on how exactly it's presented. There's a fine line between saying the product is a substitute for something, and misleading people into thinking it is the thing. Like the OP picture, it says "cooks like ground beef", which is okay in text, but on the box "cooks like" is white text on a light colour background, as if to create the possibility of you glancing at the packaging and only seeing "ground beef".
If it's just "No Chicken", that's fine, but if it's like ^no^ CHICKEN then maybe not.
