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

ITT: Vegans with a chip on their shoulder demanding that stuff they want to buy be labelled the same as stuff they don’t want to buy.

Next up: People demanding that meat be labelled cauliflower to fight fire with fire. I mean it’s special meat engineered to have the texture and taste of cauliflower, why shouldn’t it be labelled cauliflower?

I have never seen a plant based product labeled the same as a animal product. What I see is is [Beef steak] or [Plant based Steak made from…]

Vegan products have a clear label on them and they want you to know that it plant based because people buy it for that reason, be it to avoid animal cruelty, the destruction of the environment or their own health.

And why shouldn’t meat products have a clear label?

Yes, I think I advocated here alone two to three times for that and I will stay by your side if you do demand that.

We could make it easier for all with a “animal product” label but at the moment it is only the animal industry which is lobbying for restrictive product names.

If you don’t want to then legislate for a label like the (V)egan label and put it on all products made from animals, I would still support you.

I am all in for clear description of food and a big label if it contains animal suffering and the destruction of the eco system or if it is plant based.

That kind of label already exists: It resembles the shape of the letters “Steak” so closely one might even mistake it for the word.

Why, pray tell, are you insistent on diluting the clarity of that label? Is it so aesthetically pleasing to you that you just cannot help yourself but enjoy it even though you don’t want to have to do anything with meat?

Well, I guess it shows that some people learn only shapes instead of reading.

Still unclear who was killed, maybe there are some more shapes around? They indicate what Animal it was, you know there is more than one?

Now imagine if you will, we could use that space where it says “pig” and replace it with “saitan” for example? Mind blown, if you put 2 or more of these cryptic runes together we can transport more information.

I don’t care much for it, it is for those who want to stop supporting the destruction of the planet and the murdering of billions of sentient beings for their pleasure. It makes it easier for them if they don’t have to change too much.

Now imagine if you will, we could use that space where it says “organic” and replace it with “pork”, for example? “pork cauliflower”. Makes perfect sense.

No. It is for people who want to proclaim superior morality but are too lazy to switch their shopping habits from “steak” to “soy patty”. If y’all are so virtuous that should really not be an issue for you.

It had to be labeled meat cauliflower and seems to be reasonable to call it that way. But wait till you hear about coconut milk or even worse meat-cheese (Leberkäs/Fleischkäse - traditional german sausage with no cheese what so ever).

It’s a stupid comment anyway because no one would ever label cauliflower as anything but cauliflower.

Parents to make their children eat it?
