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.

Sausages can be called “links”. Burgers can be called “patties”. The only people pissed about Soy Milk, Vegan Burgers and Veggie Sausages are the corporations who sell meat exclusively, and the people who don’t read food packaging. Smart vegan & vegetarians know that you need to read the ingredients before you buy that product. I always make sure I go home with the right wiener.
There’s definitely some bad actors in food packaging, though. In some countries, it’s insane how hard it is to differentiate between butter and some non-dairy spread at the grocery.
I can’t believe it’s not butter!
I can’t believe that I’m lying when I don’t say it’s not true that this isn’t non-butter!
The other day i tried to buy an oat drink, for my coffee. I usually have a favourite brand, but i don’t care as much. It didn’t have any that i recognized, but damn the one i bought, i had to read really closely what kind of “milk” it was.
I take it a step further, I don’t just make sure that I take the right weiner home, I inspect it before I put it in my mouth. and especially give it a sniff test.
Food safety is always a plus. :)
