Veggie burgers could be renamed 'veggie disks' under proposed new EU food labelling rules

“It’s obviously an attempt to attack vegetarian meat substitutes. For me it’s number one a sign that the meat lobby is worried about a rapid change in diets, especially amongst young people – a lot of which is about their response to climate change,” Green MEP Molly Scott Cato told“The meat industry is feeling the pressure of people shifting to what is basically cheaper and healthier food – namely a plant-based diet.

Another bendy banana lie no doubt

Things like this is why Brexit is a good idea.

Call them what you want a real burger contains meat yum yum.

Veggie rounds.

Burgers are MEAT.

Its 'discs' & i have never see a circular shaped Sheep, cow, Pig roaming a sanctuary, Flesh suppliers/Flesh eaters dont own said description, or is it a case flesh eaters are too dense in the brain to realise what they are eating?

Leavers will be have a stroke after reading this

The EU Rules.... 🤥

... are you publishing this waffle so we might feel a bit better about leaving the EU? (it isn't working)

So what do they want to call a Fish Burger then...

Ffs A disc/disk is thin that or any veggie burger I've seen is not! 😏

Oh so what? A rose by any other name etc. It’s this sort of sneering, ‘look what The EU is doing now’ reportage over the past 40 years that has exacerbated the Brexit schism. Twats

Keep your VEGGIE BURGER! I will choose BURGER KING

Yes!

This is just insulting to everyone's intelligence. I think we can all figure out that a veggie burger is made from vegetables without being tricked by the word burger.

How about fart fodders?

This will really take off! Remoaners will soon be swarming over all the fast food outlets demanding their veggie disks just so they can demonstrate the benefits of staying in the EU!

Urg. This is so ridiculous.

Its a veggie burger not a disc ! and was invented by US born Greg Sams living in London at whole foods.

So?

Right... 🤣🤣🤣

Aren't we leaving the EU!, So we can still have Veggie Burgers !!

Won’t happen

We call them veggie pucks in Canada.

And peanut butter ? Chocolate eggs ?

And we need to change the name of ‘pigs in blankets’ to ‘mulched up pig anus, retinas and skin wrapped in carcinogenic processed pig flesh’ because they don’t actually contain any blanket

The shape is called a 'disc.' A 'disk' is something you store data on.

The meat industry lobby must have visited Amsterdam & devised this in a special café.

That's fair burger implies its food not a coaster for your soy latte

Outrageous!!! We should leave the EU immediately how dare they clarify an amalgamation of vegetables into a patty?!!! Then force upon us, a sovereign nation, a new name for such deep fried crap!!!!!

All of England and Wales outside London now favours a NoDealBrexit On the same day that Parliament makes it impossible For some strange reason not hearing about that in Independent or Guardian!!! Democracy

Last time we ate disks, they were vinyl...

And did you know that Easter eggs aren’t actually eggs!? It’s political correctness gone maaaaaaad!

..it is already named.. Falafel!.. get over it.

EU looking more like Communists

Let’s rename hamburgers “animal flesh disks” while we’re at it.

The EU has just passed a directive. All “newspapers” who print lies will be required to add ‘Bull Shit Rag’ to there name.

There you go mrjamesob Another one to add to the list!

When any story is published, always ask yourself three questions: What's the agenda of the writer / publication? Who benefits from the story? Why is it running now? (And never believe ANY publication - including the Indy - that it doesn't have an agenda.)

Screw the meat industry! They are trying to put people off by making vegetarian & vegan products sound somewhat artificial. Come on Europarl_EN I have faith that you won't bow to the pressure of the meat industry!

That sounds important.

Please God help us.

Or, Shit Circles.

It gets worse .

More EU shaming...

Another stupid law

Won’t be eating them, so don’t give a fuck.

A ‘burger’ is just a food patty! Simples ! 🤷‍♂️

mikegalsworthy mrjamesob ProfBrianCox Anna_Soubry ChukaUmunna paulmasonnews Peston tom_watson sarahwollaston THEY JUST CANT STOP with this narrative... even now.

Are you telling me that you actually pay some lacky to write this BS

For the love of... I think we are all good with the concept of what a veggie burger is without having it reclassified :)

Ah yes, I will have some 'veggie disks' do they also come in floppy disk style?

I really did expect better from you at the independent. Hang your heads in shame for stooping this low.

Cue the vitriol from those who take any opportunity to use this a valid reason to leave the EU. 🤓

Did you get this info from the Daily Mail? Was it written by a ex-Daily Mail writer?

mrjamesob .... look 👀 they are STILL pumping this stuff out... even now!!!

Oh my goodness this really is trivial!

wot ever, eh_

Britons will not need visa for trips of up to 90 days in EU zoneWaiver agreed if UK keeps concession also for EU citizens, as most MEPs accept legal label of Gibralter as colony Why a photo of Gibraltar? Brittons don’t need a visa to go there and it won’t be in the EU... 🤔 That's fine! We're boycotting all EU countries! So another Project Fear claim goes down the pan - you'll need a visa to go on holiday in the EU - no you won't if UK agrees to concessions, which would appear as highly likely.
