A Step to the Right: Why the EU's Veggie Burger Ban is Bull
MEPs have voted to ban the use of key 'meaty' words when describing plant-based versions of certain foods, leading to a backlash from meat-free brands.
After over five years of debate, the European Parliament has finally made a decision, bringing an end to the perceived confusion faced by millions when ordering a burger, steak, or sausage.

The plant-based community has responded with criticism and amusement, with many expressing their disagreement with the ban.
