    why does the government need to be involved?

    Because consumers should not be misled by deceiving manufacturers.

      If you see “plant burger” and you are misled to think that it must be made of beef, that says a lot more about you than the manufacturer.

      Stupid reason. Burger used to mean pork and beef. There were laws for this. Now we have chicken burgers?? Yeah nobody cares.

        Stupid reason

        Would it be OK to sell some cheap dog meat burgers as “vegan”? I meant taste would be probably the same but still misleading, don’t you think?
