    Sure then lets call the meat substitutes that are the subject of this thread ‘ultra processed foods’, that are being mislabelled for genuine EU agricultural products by astute scammers

      Go ahead, but be consistent and apply that label to oils, flour, sugar, starches, bread, and juices. They’re literally just spices and gluten ground together.

      You’re a reactionary dumbarse using the status quo to argue for the status quo, which as I pointed out by inference would have us using the 13th century definitions if applied then. I guess you’re a bit thick for that though so there it is explicitly. You nong.

        I do that, I am very serious about my flours and breads. And so should you.

        Status quo is not necessarily a bad thing. particularly if we are talking about things like food and places like France. It’s called culture, my friend, some people and countries care about it.
