Lawmakers argued that terms like ‘veggie burgers,’ could mislead consumers into believing that plant-based products have the same nutritional value as meat or that they contain meat.
lol wut?
That’s an argument made by our very powerful meat and agro-industrial lobbies. It’s worthless, they knew but tried nonetheless.
It’s the same for “milk”, in Germany all the products like soy or oat milk have weird names like “Soy drink” now. Animal abuse lobbyists say otherwise consumers can get confused.
In Poland because of that some sellers sell coconut milk as ‘coconut drink’. Which makes no sense.
Except for Scheuermilch (scouring cream, literally: scouring milk). That one we can keep. Probably because it has the same nutritional values as cow milk or something… The argument never made any sense whatsoever.
It’s just weirdly funny to me. Taste great and very close to cow milk too. 
Tasted worse and much more like oat for me.That should actually be illegal. What a shitty thing.
Steak?? Really??
I can understand burger, fillet, sausage as the/fundamentally-based-on the process of preparation/construction. But not for steak. Subjectively anyway.
Looking at steak on Wikipedia:
A steak is a thick cut of meat generally sliced across the muscle fibers, sometimes including a bone. It is normally grilled or fried. Steak can be diced, cooked in sauce, such as in steak and kidney pie, or minced and formed into patties, such as hamburgers.
Grilled portobello mushroom may be called mushroom steak, and similarly for other vegetarian dishes. Imitation steak is a food product that is formed into a steak shape from various pieces of meat. Grilled fruits such as watermelon have been used as vegetarian steak alternatives.
Exceptions, in which the meat is sliced parallel to the fibers, include the skirt steak cut from the plate, the flank steak cut from the abdominal muscles, and the silverfinger steak cut from the loin and including three rib bones. In a larger sense, fish steaks, ground meat steaks, pork steak, and many more varieties of steak are known.
I guess I’m just not enough into steaks. I guess it can be a label for the process before a meat steak.
