Plant-based patties can become again veggie burgers as the European Court of Justice rules that 'steak' , 'burger' and 'fillet' can be used on non-meat products.
Lawmakers argued that terms like ‘veggie burgers,’ could mislead consumers into believing that plant-based products have the same nutritional value as meat or that they contain meat.
It’s the same for “milk”, in Germany all the products like soy or oat milk have weird names like “Soy drink” now. Animal abuse lobbyists say otherwise consumers can get confused.
Except for Scheuermilch (scouring cream, literally: scouring milk). That one we can keep. Probably because it has the same nutritional values as cow milk or something… The argument never made any sense whatsoever.
lol wut?
That’s an argument made by our very powerful meat and agro-industrial lobbies. It’s worthless, they knew but tried nonetheless.

In Poland because of that some sellers sell coconut milk as ‘coconut drink’. Which makes no sense.
That should actually be illegal. What a shitty thing.
Keep drinking that kool-aid, buddy.
Yeah, no problem at all, just advertise something as X and add a “no”, perfectly acceptable practice. Glad that is not legal where I live.
