It's great that european union politicians can decide that tofu sausages are not sausages, but still struggle to have a strong sanctions policy against #Russia. Modern right-wing populism is a fucking joke.

Whenever I see an article about #soyMilk, #veganCheese, #veganSausages or "#vegan anything" I always see the usual brain dead comments from your average person, stating how soy milk isn't milk, or cheese only comes from cows, or sausages only have animal meat in it and nothing else. This ownership of the wording/definition is weird, and deflects from the far more important issue of the #AnimalRights of the animals, which, as any #AnnoyingVegan will tell you, have no rights if they are being exploited by humans without their consent.
Regardless, here is an example (comments on their Facebook post):
This is ridiculous for at least 2 reasons:
1. Words, their definitions and meaning change all the time. Examples here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/10/15/24-words-that-mean-totally-different-things-now-than-they-did-pre-internet/ and https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/words-that-used-to-mean-something-different
2. As long as things are not misleading or 'illegal' (and they are not, at least in Australia: https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/7368095/vegan-food-labels-not-duping-consumers-accc/) then there shouldn't be an objection to whatever a company decides to call its product.
Finally, I am going to use the #PeanutButter / #HotDog argument. If peanut butter or hot dogs can be called what they are (there is no cow butter in peanut butter and there is no dog meat (usually 🤢🤮) in hot dogs), then I don't see any problem with calling any vegan food item what it is trying to replicate or mimic as closely as possible. After all, the vegan food usually (if not always) has a different spelling, a prefix, or a sufix. Is it cheecky? Sure. But so is killing a cow for a couch.
