EU lawmakers voted on Wednesday to ban the use of the term “veggie-burger” and limit food descriptions such as steak, escalope and sausage to products containing meat, part of a proposed EU law to protect farmers.
The world is collapsing under the weight of totalitarianism, climate change, pollution, escalating conflicts, terrorism, tariff battles, supply chain issues, job losses, diseases, and various other huge challenges. And this is the bullshit they are focusing on?!
Great job EU lawmakers! /s
This is day-to-day shit politicians have to vote on. Went to my state capitol to protest as a senior. Blew me away how fast they were cranking through the votes.
“On proposal $X, <very short descriptive blurb>, all those in favor?”
We see headlines like this because it’s so ridiculous. But it’s just the daily grind to legislators.
Who knows what concession(s) they got for bringing this dumb issue to the table? Maybe a concession on one of the issues you noted?
