Have You Ever Walked Into A Grocery Store And Bought Something You Thought Was The Meat Of An Animal... And It Wasn't?

@UserNameSW No meat-alternate product I've ever seen has [i]had[/i] a "misleading" label, though. Yet, these laws have still been passed and are attempting to be passed.

@Piper things called sausages, burgers, or milk that are not is misleading.

Dont call it milk if it isnt.

@UserNameSW There have always been different definitions of milk, aside from that produced by female mammals.

As far as using words like sausage or burger with "veggie" or "meatless" right before it, I'm wondering what you find [i]misleading[/i] about that.

@Piper the use of the words is misleading. If it isnt milk dont call it milk.

Terms and words are important.

I don't think it is OK for me to sell an Orange Big Mac.
It is a large drink made from oranges. It sounds like it may be a big mac or related to a big mac. It isn't dont calm it that.

@UserNameSW Definition of milk: (2): a food product produced from seeds or fruit that resembles and is used similarly to cow's milk

As far as words like burger, hot dog, or even sausage...have you ever been "misled" or felt "mislead" by a product labeled as such, when "veggie" or "meatless" is clearly visible right in of front it ON the label?

@Piper an opaque white fluid rich in fat and protein, secreted by female mammals for the nourishment of their young.
Is a much more accurate definition of milk.

I have not bough a vegetable sandwich and confused it with a burger.
It should sold as a vegetable sandwich.

I would have the same problem if someone sold a tent as a house.

It is a a house,not a tent

@UserNameSW If you bought a "pup" tent and found it was the size of a house, I'd say you'd been [i]misled[/i] by deceptive labeling.

@Piper they are packaged and labeled to look like milk.

@UserNameSW This post is not even [i]about[/i] the many plant-based milks that have been around for a long time, and are always clearly labeled with the plant 'fruit' it is derived from before the word "milk".

@Piper depending on labeling laws in various areas. Some are more deceptive than others.

If they use names that sound like a cut of meat it should be stopped. Dont call it a steak or sausage if it isnt.

@UserNameSW Actually, none of them are "deceptive".

@Piper calling a vegetable sandwich a steak,is deceptive.

Calling almond drink as milk is deceptive.

I have no problem with people create, selling, purchasing, consuming a variety of products. The problem is when you present the product as something it isnt.


If producers and marketers are not misrepresenting their products - this law will not effect them.

@UserNameSW This is getting a little wearisome, but I'll try once again anyway.
[i]You[/i] have NOT been misled or deceived by any of these plant-based products, yet you still insist the labeling is "deceptive". No one is calling a vegetable sandwich "a steak", either.

[quote]Calling almond drink as milk is deceptive.[/quote]

How do you figure that, the various definitions of "milk" aside...when almond, soy, coconut, rice...etc., is clearly right there in front of "milk' on the labels? That is also the case, on the labels of plant-based meat alternative products.
