There is justice in the world the EU are planning to ban the veg chompers from misleading people by calling meat free products like vegan burgers as burgers. The vegans are squealing like stuck pigs.

Does it really matter what things are called unless somebody has a copyright protection on the name?

It is under discussion, but there is no clear majority either for or against the move.

Doesn't the fact that they're even considering it make you glad that we don't need to tolerate this nonsense any more?

The veg chompers are squealing about it loud enough they obviously expect it will end badly for them. Veg disks veg spheres veg blocks don?t sound very good to eat.

It is pointless trivia rules on food quality hygiene etc make sense whether you call a disk of compressed veg matter a veg burger or a veg disk is just pointless red tape. People like Tim defend the EU and this kind of insidious nonsense it is no different to his meat eaters licence idea.

No, of course not and they are only called the things they are for the non vegans as we check the info on the packets more closely than most to check what they contain in any case.
It's just that some of the psychopaths who prefer to rape, torture and kill animals because they like how they taste, rather than choose any of the clean alternatives want to kick up a fuss, because of how guilty they feel about their lifestyle choices.
I would much rather they came up with new names for the vegan options so I can easier avoid all the ones that contain 'mechanically reclaimed' meat, cysts, eyeballs, arses, gristle and bone. <gag>

You think it should be up to a retailer to describe something as they want
- regardless of truth or accuracy? No wonder you voted to leave the EU. As that's what the leave campaign did...

Yes. Soon you'll be able to buy a pork sausage that contains zero pork. Chocolate with zero coca solids. And so on. All in the name of deregulation. Just what the public has been told it wants.

No, I'm happy to have a UK Trade Descriptions Act - just not something imposed by Brussels!

'Soon'. !?
Many 'pork sausages' contain little in the way of what most would consider to be pork.
Yup, just like this:

What is really strange is how 'excited' some get over an ever growing number of people who have the sole goal of reducing the cruelty, suffering, death and exploitation of other animals?

To keep it on topic , there's a diy recipe.
I think I'd give the vegetarian version a miss though.

Yeah, quite. I saw a video of a pigs head and loads of metal flales ripping the 'meat' off ...
On a similar level ... daughter did much of our last 'big shop' at Asda (supporting their vegan expansion) and amongst several new lines she got us a couple of 'Pukker, chicken and mushroom' pies.
Now obviously we weren't expecting high cuisine but she was interested in our though's on them generally and to see if it was worth seeing if a cafe she uses for take-away might be interested in offering them and she could advertise such on the many vegan groups she uses (given they probably offer 'Pukker' foods in any case).
And with half a baked sweet potato, a load of (frozen) mixed veg and some vegan gravy they were perfectly ok (and the pastry was very good).
At least you didn't get any of the shitty bits that you might typically find in anything containing 'cheap' meat.

No need, there is nothing wrong with "veggie burger". What is wrong is the assumption that a "burger" actually contains a high percentage of good quality mince from prime cuts of beef. The descriptions just need to be accurate, "cerial burger with 5% MRM beef", "75% horse burger", "beef flavour burger" ie no beef at all.
