    OK, that’s fair. If you’re the kind of person to wander into the veggie section of the store, see something with “burger” on it, and think that it’s meat, my question probably did seem confusing and ridiculous.

      Hypocrisy of vegans is breath taking.

      And so is ignorance. UK supermarkets typically place vegan products, including vegan sausages, in the same section as meat products.

      There are no ghettos for vegans here although judging from the hostility of vegans on Lemmy it may as well be better if they are kept away from the rest of the public.

      Now tell me once again that this product is not misleading 🙄

        My goodness, mate, grow up! It’s not about “ghettos”, it’s about the resolutions that even UK acknowledged (and, to my knowledge, hasn’t rescinded) that require storing various categories of products (meat, diary, fish, etc) separately, to avoid contamination!

        Your vegan products may be in the same area of the store, but they won’t be mixed with meat products, so you have to be fucking blind or stupid to “get tricked”.

        And just FYI - I’m not vegan. Love me some good, crispy bacon with my scrambled eggs. But I’m also not a whiny idiot who sees a green “burger” box stored away from the meat products, turns off his brain, and thinks “ah, that must be meat!”

          What a fucking utter tosh, especially after I gave you an example of sausages.

          I am glad EU parliament recognised the issue and ignored “useful idiots”, vegans or otherwise, trying to defend plant pulp industry 🙄
