I agree. The poor, poor consumers are confused and we need to help them. We should ban all euphemisms and metaphors in food. Sausage? No, leftover-meat-and-cart

On a serious note, an obvious solution to prevent consumers from being confused in their tiny little precious heads is a EU-wide standard vegan/vegetarian label and make it mandatory in any vegetarian analogues. But of course this isn't about consumers at all, no one ever bought a vegan patty thinking they were buying beef.

They were placed next to real sausages and I thought I should try something new. I'm sure geniuses like you always read the full packaging before buying but poor untermenschen like me need protection from capitalists who sell us vegan poison. But of course you would oppose that, because if consumers made informed choices hardly anyone would buy vegan stuff. It's the reason people sell shoes labeled Niko or Abibas.
- lopis 3y agoThat's why I said vegan food should be clearly labeled. Everyone benefits. Vegans love the labels and people that don't read what they are buying can avoid being mislead by their own negligence.
