agreed - if this does pass I can't wait to stop seeing "burger" as a term used to mean anything but the minced flesh patty and all uses of "burger" for the whole sandwich to be made illegal as bread, lettuce, tomato, etc obv aren't made of animals

also I hope somebody finally starts enforcing this so we stop getting confusing product names like "peanut butter" - you're telling me a peanut was milked and then churned? mm I don't think so..

I assume you're being sarcastic, but when I was growing up in Australia we didn't call it peanut butter, it was peanut paste. Because the dairy lobby didn't want the confusion.
