I guess my problem with the meat producers trying to lock down the word meat is that I'm not buying "meat". I buy specific things. I want to buy chicken. I want to know the chicken was raised in a humane way, as far away from cages and their most recent defection event as possible. I'd like to buy chicken raised on a omnivorous diet of pecking whatever seeds and animals they find on the ground, but I'll take vegetarian raised chicken too. I usually buy as much of the chicken as possible minus the feet, heads, and feathers. Reducing the burden I have to go through to buy meat will increase the amount of meat I buy. Forbidding the labeling of meat substitutes as meat will not increase the amount of meat I buy or decrease the burden of researching and choosing that meat, but it will still offer me with lots of meat-substitutes with heavily regulated labeling that allows me to decrease the burden of researching and choosing my proteins.
