Aight, if animal cruelty is no problem, fair. That's valid. We're all humans, after all.

So, I take it you then don't object to being stuffed with pesticides, herded with thousands of people in a crammed space, and transported off with a truck to slaughter, where you get stunned, electrically tortured, chopped and cut into bits, with your skin being used for leather?

Just want to let you know that the meat industry is doing exactly what people did to the Jews many years ago.

I followed your instructions and called it something different; animal-cruelty free meat. Why do you feel attacked for something that does not affect you in the slightest?

I guess it's a good thing then that no one will be allowed to buy the bean burger you just praised from anyone in Europe?

Imagine people ordering a "lentil burger", "soy burger", "plant burger", "bean burger", or "chickpea burger", and receiving a vegan meal. Can you imagine how shocked and deceived, perhaps even violated they may feel?

The horror! Luckily the European Christian Democrats protected European citizens from this huge and common problem instead of, oh I dunno, helping European industry with the energy transition or end a genocide. They have their priorities straight here.

Or maybe, just maybe, this is another attempt by the animal mass murder industry to slow down the transition to a slightly less cruel food production system and these politicians are earning some blood money?
