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

The very powerful meat industry, has done and are attempting to pass laws forbidding the use of labels/words like "veggie burger" or "vegan hot dog" on plant-based products. They SAY that it is confusing or "deceptive" to consumers, even though every plant-based "meat" product has meatless plain as day somewhere on the front of the packaging.

No. And I'm grateful that I live in a country where this sort of industry lobbying is rarer and less likely to override common sense.

Burger describes the style of the food not the content.

@ninalanyon This particular industry battle is still going on strong, here in the US. As you've probably noticed, I very much agree about the word burger. :)
