If you're in the EU, and have a moment, please consider signing this open letter protesting the ridiculous plan to ban names like 'burger' and 'sausage' for #vegetarian and #vegan alternatives because they would confuse people.
What's confusing to me is why we're still taking about this bs: it's clearly one of the most ridiculous arguments ever thought up by the agri lobby.

Thanks!
Stop the ban on meaty names for plant based foods. Courts and parliaments have already rejected similar bans. Consumers are perfectly capable of telling the difference, and they don’t need EU politicians policing words on packaging that cause no confusion.
We call on the European Parliament and all EU policymakers:
❌ Reject this unnecessary and harmful ban.
✅ Protect consumer choice and transparency.
🌍 Support Europe’s transition to healthier, sustainable diets.
The EU will vote tomorrow. Please sign this petition. 👇🏼
Go sign! #NoConfusion
