Ooooh, you can hear those that support the gassing of pigs to be able
to eat their flesh squealing like their victims now!

It's still all screwed up though:

"Together with Greenpeace, the group regretted that lawmakers accepted
further restrictions on the naming of alternative products containing
no dairy. Terms like “almond milk” and “soy yogurt” are already banned
in Europe after the bloc’s top court ruled in 2017 that purely
plant-based products cannot be marketed using terms such as milk,
butter or cheese, which are reserved for animal products."

So, we weren't drinking 'coconut milk' years before we were drinking
the excretions of another species?

VEGGIE BURGER BAN UPDATE: This week the European Union voted against a
bill that would have made it illegal to call vegan alternatives names
like ‘burgers’ and ‘sausages’.

However, they voted in favour of another piece of legislation, Bill
171, which now means that companies selling plant-based products, on
top of already not being able to call their products ‘milk’, will also
not be able to label their products as ‘cheese-alternative’, or
‘yoghurt alternative’?

Whilst the passing of Bill 171 is undeniably bewildering, it is also
entirely irrelevant. As much as the dairy industry may wish, consumers
are not accidentally buying oat milk, or vegan cheese and yoghurts and
as such, nothing is going to change. What however is more troubling,
is that in the same week where the conversation has been centred
around the ‘veggie burger ban’, the EU has also voted against a reform
to the common agricultural policy, which was meant to ensure that
farmers had to implement more environmentally friendly measures in
order to receive the same amount of subsidies. In essence, they have
voted against the environment and in favour of animal farmers, with
them signing away €390 billion to industries who are destroying the
planet?

And whilst all this is happening the EU’s multi billion euro campaign
called ‘Let’s talk about EU Pork’ is still ongoing, which aims to
encourage more millennials to start consuming pork, as the EU is
worried about a consumption decrease due to concerns around animal
welfare and sustainability. To put that into perspective, the EU is
spending billions of euros in an attempt to oppose science and to
encourage people to eat products that have, not only been proven by a
vast and undeniable mountain of evidence to be bad for the planet, but
that also result in pigs being mutilated, castrated, locked in
concrete prisons and metal cages, and gassed to death. What an
absolute disgrace."

At least now *I* have something to be pleased we are leaving the EU
over, as long as our government aren't also under the control of these
failing meat / dairy industries and put any more of our money trying
to support it against it's inimitable failure (on top of the £.5M they
put towards advertising dairy a while back).
