Can you say “scare tactics”?
“Vegetarian steak” is not steak, it’s an artificial “plant-based” pseudo-food created in the laboratory. Other than that, no problem.
France has banned “misleading” labels on foodstuffs–specifically, anything that would suggest that the product is some kind of meat… when it isn’t (https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2024/02/27/france-bites-down-hard-on-vegetarian-steak-mislabelling/). There will be hefty fines for companies and merchants who try to hoodwink the consumer.
Imagine that! Here you are, virtue-signalling to beat the band–and your Vegetarian Steak isn’t steak at all, it’s just a bunch of chemicals.
Yeahbut, yeahbut! “Go Vegan or we all die!” Would a bunch of activists lie to you?
Honk if you don’t know the answer to that question.
