Hunches and gut feelings. Dreams in waking life.
I organize the Eurovision Song Contest, but exclusive to Lemmy, it’s called Lemmyvision !
Marie Antoinette saying let them eat bread or something
From her point of view it sounds incredibly based, it would probably have just been ignorance though. I’m still glad she died because of that patronising comment that she kind of didn’t actually say
This is yet another ban evasion alt account of user Dwazou, this time just straight up doing misinformation (for whatever political agenda they have) by only highlighting two candidates out of the current seven.
Can confirm it happened on three occasions in the past two weeks:
All three reached our mod / reports queue on jlai.lu (lemmy)
Edit: I’m not sure if we have jlai.lu users remotely moderating the communities these reports came from
Thats a good poster, we need more horizontal film posters
Not a costume, but I made a ghost, we have a tree trunk in front of the house, I put one of those round metal plates upside down on it, white bath towel, cut dark red paper for eyes and mouth, attached them with pins, and a candle in an jelly pot on the ground
Sounds fancy? Looks like shit but I love it LOL
It is free, but you need a Canvas account, and only the ai features are behind their subscription
Will you even have free will once you are ported over?
France and Belgium havent either, they only announced they would
“Nobody is using it” 🙄🙄🙄
I don’t, and yes of course it is, but for example plant-based “chicken” is not being sold as just “chicken.” It’s always labeled “plant-based chicken”, “vegan chicken”, etc. That’s within the same product category, and still not confusing to consumers ; see the study linked in the article (https://www.beuc.eu/sites/default/files/publications/beuc-x-2020-042_consumers_and_the_transition_to_sustainable_food.pdf).
So the real question is: is there actual confusion happening among consumers buying food? And the answer from courts, regulators, and common sense has been a consistent no because context is already doing its job.
Then you have a problem with reality itself, I highly encourage you to visit plant based alternative aisles if you can, to ground your arguments with facts. If you can’t debate without being condescending, we’re done here. Bye.
Happy to keep debating. Less so if we’re just going to trade insults. If you have a solid point, make it, no need to get nasty.
The CJEU ruling did say that member states can’t ban plant-based products from using meat-related terms if the labeling is clear. That’s literally what it ruled. You don’t get to rewrite case law just because it doesn’t fit your perspective.
No one is selling something called just “chicken” when it’s made from plants — it’s always labeled “vegan chicken”, “plant-based chicken”, etc. That’s not misleading. That’s clear communication, and it works — the CJEU said this is fine as long as the ingredients list is transparent.
Dismissing the examples of almond milk, beefsteak tomatoes, or coconut cream just because they don’t fit your argument doesn’t make them disappear. Language evolves. These aren’t “gotchas” — they’re everyday proof of how people understand food labeling in real life.
If your main concern is protecting consumers, we agree. But pretending this is some epidemic of deception when zero data backs that up? That’s just the meat lobby talking.
By your logic, so would be the beefsteak tomato, almond milk, coco cream, butternut… Which are actual vegetables.
If you consider yourself not capable enough to read the ingredients when selecting a product to buy, that’s on you. This is what the CJEU is saying: there is no misleading in using these terms. There has been zero recorded intent at misleading consumers from plant based alternatives producers.
Do you get mad at the “misleading animal names” meme?
We’re not talking about vegetables products but plant based alternatives. We’re not talking about protected product names but common words used in our vocabulary daily.
And : IMO the decision of the European Parliament supersedes the panic of the meat industry when it comes to vocabulary. Language evolves. I don’t see them attacking beauty products because they’re selling “cream”
FYI : this was already a thing in France circa 2022 and was quickly shut down because of how ridiculous of a request this is
Two previous amendments that would have restricted the labelling of plant-based meat — including terms such as “burger” and “sausage” — were rejected by MEPs in 2020. Furthermore, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled last October that no member state could prohibit plant-based alternatives from using terms traditionally associated with animal products, as long as the ingredients are clearly shown on the label.
The meat industry back at it again when this was already discussed and ridiculed last year
I feel like it could be any other name and this would be a generic sci fi flick, there’s only Tron in the aesthetics and name
“we’re not going there.”
Yeah I’m not either
Moving most of my online acconts from gmail to a dedicated Tuta mailbox, it’s a lot to track but I’ll be at ease once it’s done
The thing is that its not “linear”, movies and TV series don’t have the same goals, set pieces and crews available, or production value
