Ikr I'm sick of taking my broccoli home only to notice that I misread the label and it's actually Blood Broccoli™

There‘s a medieval recipe for almond milk. The EU banned that term for being misleading as if it wasn‘t deeply rooted in our culture. It‘s insane.

Not only a waste of public money, but an unfair burden on ethical food producers who now need to replace all of their packaging and marketing materials at their own cost, while flesh-peddlers are burdened with no such expenses.

Firstly food regulation including provenance, naming and packaging is very much at the core of the EU - if it wasn't the EU would already have a free trade deal with Australia (it's literally the only sticking point).

Secondly a parliament with hundreds of representatives can in fact (metaphorically) "walk and chew gum" at the same time. There is absolutely no reason there can't be (and in fact there are) multiple committees looking at all sorts of things simultaneously.

I wish I could say that they're doing something about the rise of fascism (they're not afaict) but the presence or absence of the food regulation committee won't change that. They are at least bolstering European defences and increasing spending, I suspect we both would like them to be doing more and faster, but they are in fact working on it as well

How do you expect them to ignore all that without something to keep their hands busy!?
