European Parliament lawmakers have voted to restrict the use of terms like "burger" and "steak" to meat products. This proposal, backed by the agricultural lobby, aims to prevent plant-based alternatives from using traditional meat nomenclature. While proponents argue it prevents consumer confusion, critics believe consumers are savvy enough and that such restrictions could harm businesses. The debate continues, with other EU bodies needing to approve the proposal before it becomes law.
