Because they occasionally eat small mammals (and insects).

I read that as “if they’re on Band Camp”.

How the hell do I know if these shredded soy pieces, extra salt, or pink broccoli smoky tempeh taste like bacon?

Easy. They don’t.

For the purposes of this part, ‘meat’ means edible parts of the animals referred to in points 1.2 to 1.8 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, including blood.

In the end it’s a legal document and the terms are defined for the purpose of the regulation, not necessarily how the terms are used in daily life.

Well now blood sausage is not a sausage too despite being almost entirely animal product

The EU document specifically mentions that blood based products counts as meat, so blood sausage is fine.

Historically? Many.

Recently. No.

Something similar did actually happen, though:

This not only affects vegetarian food, but also salmon steak for example.

Where are you getting this from? In the document you linked they define meat as “edible parts of the animals” and I can’t find any wording in here that would exclude fish from being meat.

but you can have fish burgers and veggie burgers and whatever-you-want-to burgers if you like.

I’d would not call those burgers, but I also don’t think it’s necessary to police what other people call them.

Making this into a political issue is just silly. Arguing over what is and isn’t a burger should be reserved for teasing your vegan friends at the barbecue.

Huh, what’s with all the shapes in Danish?

For a me a burger is defined the meat patty and secondarily the buns.

Yeah, think it’s quite silly that the EU is wasting time on this, but here we are.

In the end it’s more about labeling than language anyway. No one is banned from calling anything they want to a “burger”. You can’t just put it in the label when you want to sell it, and I think that is fair enough.

In Danish it’s definitely a shape, so… Which underlines the fact that this sort of legislation is pretty ridiculous in a multilingual society like the EU.

I’ll be up to each country to implement the rules so everyone can account for their own language.

Please also remember, as per Saussure, that for the language user only the present exists. Etynologies are curious facts at best and doesn’t necessarily mean anything for current usage.

I see where you’re coming from, but I think that is quite sad. That actually gives some credibility to the argument that the names of traditional foods should to be protected to some degree.

It’s not a shape, it’s always been a meat product. It comes from the Latin salsicus which means “seasoned with salt”.

There you go.

But margarine literally isn’t butter? I’ve never heard anyone complain about that. If anything, the opposite. Don’t hand someone margarine when they asked for butter.

Why would you need to show your ID for shopping?

Also, how do you buy alcohol/tobacco in the UK? I’d assume you already need some sort if ID for that anyway.

Seems like you’re just trying to manufacturer a problem.

Hallo, Steuerprüfer? Dieser Kommentar hier.

That humans are destructive, by nature. So the universe will be more balanced without us in it.

Not only is this not a fact, it doesn’t even make sense. What “balance” are you talking about? The universe isn’t tipping over.

Also have you seen the rest of nature? We have nothing on the destructive power of natural disasters and even all of our nuclear bombs would be just a fart compared to some of the destructive forces in space.
