TODAY'S VIDEO:
Right now, all around the world, the animal farming industries are working with politicians to try and get certain terms banned from being able to be used by plant based companies. With the EU considering a piece of legislation that could make it illegal to use phrases that “imitate or evoke dairy products, even if the composition or true nature of the product or service is indicated or accompanied by an expression such as “style”, “type”, “method”, “as produced in”, “imitation”, “flavour”, “substitute”, “like” or similar;
This could make it illegal to even say ‘does not contain milk’.
But this got me thinking about words the meat, dairy and egg industries use and how they hide behind euphemisms to disguise the reality of their industries. So here’s my round up of the words the EU and other politicians should be looking to ban, if that is, they do actually care about consumer confusion.
