LOL, asks for good faith and then go with desecrated corpse of a cow. I'll bite, ignore the fluff and go straight to the question
Don't fucking care. Your marketing department comes up with something catchy, descriptive and that doesn't confuse customers. And in this case in France, that doesn't break the law.
Piggybacking your comment about beer. I make a nice dry and sparkly wine that resembles Champagne but the grapes are not grown in the Champagne region.in fact its not a grape wine at all I use recycled shoe soles. I'd like to call it Champagne in the shops around Europe but if I am not allowed, what would you suggest i call it?
that's... what it is. meat doesn't grow on trees, you murder someone and take pieces of their corpse. you can say you think that's good and fine but you can't deny that's what happens.
Sure then lets call the meat substitutes that are the subject of this thread 'ultra processed foods', that are being mislabelled for genuine EU agricultural products by astute scammers
Go ahead, but be consistent and apply that label to oils, flour, sugar, starches, bread, and juices. They're literally just spices and gluten ground together.
You're a reactionary dumbarse using the status quo to argue for the status quo, which as I pointed out by inference would have us using the 13th century definitions if applied then. I guess you're a bit thick for that though so there it is explicitly. You nong.
I do that, I am very serious about my flours and breads. And so should you.
Status quo is not necessarily a bad thing. particularly if we are talking about things like food and places like France. It's called culture, my friend, some people and countries care about it.
as to the rest. If you called it shoe based champagne, and it tasted like champagne and you printed the nutritional information on it why would I care? protected regions are dumb and people that defend them are stupid.
LOL if you say so then we have settled this whole argument. Go ahead and let the France government know.
From other comments it sounds like you might be vegetarian or vegan. Would you like product to be mislabelled and contain products thatbyoubare not okay to eat, just because someone else thinks it doesn't matter and "vegan product" can be interpreted in many ways and it's stupid anyway?
Nobody is labelling plant based steak "cow steak (but not actually, it's gluten lol. Gotcha!)
How to tell me you're American without telling me you're American.
Do not sully the good name of the Peruvian people by implying I share a hemisphere with them.
