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

I’m just going to drop this here.

Transportation is such a small factor in food production is pretty much negligible. Meat always loses vs plants regarding climate impact.

Probably, I am not able to read what the picture say (for some reason is too small)

Fine, but because we cannot agree to call things with its proper name ?

Yes, that’s all I’m saying. Bacon is Bacon, vegan bacon is vegan bacon.

Except the word bacon means "meat from the back or sides of a pig, often eaten fried in thin slices" and the word vegan means "a person who does not eat or use any animal products, such as meat, fish, eggs, cheese, or leather" (definitions from the Cambrigde dictionary), so maybe if you don't want to change the language you need to come up with some other name, which have not this contradiction in itself ( and personally I think it would be better from a marketing point of view)

True, so I suppose that I can come up with some kind of “beyond cabbage” made from animal products and call it cabbage, right ? After all people just need to do is read the label…

If your meat cabbage abomination is labeled correctly and not sold in the vegetable section of the supermarket, sure, go for it. I doubt it would be a successful product, but go for it.

Well, I can say the same about the vegan meat abomination.
