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 don’t think people want products to be labeled as meat products when they’re not meat products that would be confusing.

    But what’s the problem in a vegetarian product in the style of a steak? Like maybe you don’t want it but who cares?

      So you’re saying that mislabelling would be confusing, but if it affects me but not you you don’t care.

        You know that’s not what I’m saying.

        No one is going to mistake a vegetarian sausage for the real thing simply because the vegetarian stuff is labeled “vegetarian” in giant letters so people who will looking for vegetarian stuff can see it.
