No I love vegetables, it's just that I like to choose and I hate processed foods. Most important I like to know what I am buying and stop customer shaming, I shouldn't need to read the fine print because some scanmers are trying to sell shit for something else.
Good follow-up though with your question about vegetables, I go through the veggie aisle and grab a head of broccoli. Am I allowed to assume it's a fucking broccoli or do I need to read the fine print too? How would vegetarians/vegans (or anyone really) feel if the head of broccoli was plunged in pig fat and sold just as broccoli. And everyone on lemmy was just 'get over it it's still broccoli, it's a word you don't own it' and some other bullshit about shortcomings.
The European union has some pretty strong regulations around food and mislabelling. Sorry doesn't work that way, you can't blame a customer for not reading the fine printing.
Yea the EU allows to call plant based products steak lol. Because its defined as a piece of fried edible. And broccoli is just broccoli, sonce ever. If you cover it in fat it's "broccoli with fat".
You can't blame others for you not being able to think or read
Not just me, also a whole fucking coutry that just legislated about it and more countries will follow.
It's a new thing, it takes time. I and its not just about me not being able to read, it's all the customers that will be mislead and sold processed food instead of, you know, a steak. That some people don't Sure it is allowed, this is a while new thing, give time to regulators to catch up, as France is doing.
Also, Oxford dictionary has four definitions for steak, none of them is that spew of words that you just made up to fit your narrative:
English isn't eveb any EU member's language lol who cares about oxford.
And do you really think anything without a transparent packaging would be unprocessed? To be precise, every food in a supermarket beside raw vegetables/fruits is processed. Even meat. You're confused and living an illusion
English not a eu member language uh? How about first you think about which countries on the continent speak what language, then which ones are members, then you go and read the Wikipedia page about it and we pretend this conversation never happened and noone will hold it against you not even the stupid part about packaging means processed and me being the one confused here
Well oxford isn't eu you pathetic confused and whiny dumb wannabe boomer lord lol
But, but, but.. let me deflect!
Still positive English is not a language of the eu? Really really really?
I already know that you're a psychopath no need to proof
You are embarrassing yourself please stop
How? And why or how do you hallucinate I'd do something because some confused huge baby tells me so lol
Ah yes, the good old dictionary. I'm glad this unchanged document of all human language has remained unchanged for millenia, helping us communicate effectively through the ages.
