The French government issued a decree Tuesday banning the term “steak” on the label of vegetarian products, saying it was reserved for meat alone.

    Just looking at the sheer volume of meat steaks, how vast majority eat meat and how the word is typically used.

    You didn’t control for the variables of ease and cost.

      I’m sure there’s other variables there too, but we are talking about the typical consumer right now. They’re not just looking to buy a shape but rather a certain product with certain features and ingredients in a certain shape. I don’t think it’s as tall of a claim as you make it out to be haha.

      Not to mention, I did specifically mention sausages and that’s something where ruokavirasto clearly states it’s a meat product and differing products should be labeled as such. And that’s the whole point, people are expecting one thing but are being mislead to buy another. Obviously that’s not good from consumer pov.
