Minister wants ban on meat names for plant-based foods

Ohh it will happen in about 30 years when we loose about 50% of our agricultural area and feeding a cow 10kg of food to get 1kg of meat will be even less defendable than it is now.

Right. And we'll also have flying cars. You do know that most land on the planet is non-arable, right? Meaning you can raise grazing livestock there but you can't actually grow crops?

Yes, it does affect people who would consider buying this stuff.

How?

There should always be a reason for a regulation, and there isn't one here. It is just a senseless regulatory effort to try and hurt a rising economic branch to protect a existing one with lobbying power

Right, some sort of "Agricultural Illuminati"? You're acting like agricultural crops aren't worth hundreds of billions of dollars in exports and sales every year, profiting companies that sell plant based products. If what you were saying were true, wouldn't most crop distributors be trying to buy up meat distributors? To kill the competition?

Weird how there's this "meat lobby" but never a "crop lobby". I guess anyone who grows a plant is just a saint who has no financial stake in anything.
