Accidentally eating a vegetable, you poor thing!

[โ€“] Tweak@feddit.uk -1 points 15 hours ago

It's not about accidentally eating vegetables, it's about products being marketed in a misleading way. If I order a pizza with bacon on it, I don't want turkey, let alone a vegetable substitute.

However many terms are already agnostic, eg pattie, burger; these kind of things should be allowed. Also, "cooks like ground beef" isn't a problem, however maybe the way the words highlight "ground beef" might be. Like, the "cooks from" and "made from plants" are white text on a light coloured background, as if to try and make it easier to miss.

There are already laws against intentionally misleading people with advertising. Done properly, this is just an extension of that, to counter businesses trying to get around the current law.
