Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).

Rules:

1. No Bigotry or Hate SpeechAny forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it. Trying to be politely or intellectually bigoted i.e. "Just asking questions" won't be tolerated.

2. No ZionismAny forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism. Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.

Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is or isn't genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule. Don't test us.

3. Stay CivilPlease maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage failure to do so will result in mod action.

4. No MisinformationSpreading of misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will be actioned swiftly.

Note: This includes Russian and Chinese propaganda. Users with a history of such posting will be banned on sight.

5. No AI ContentPlease do not post articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already.


Note: Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and they apply to a user's entire post history. Not just this community.

Fuck that. If you don't set regulations for what one thing is called, corporations will take advantage of that instantly to sell cheap crap. Regulate food laws. Don't let weird things be called burgers. Let them make up their own name for their processed vegetable matter patties.

Turkey was a meat last time I checked.

So you agree burgers' meat is not the important part, but it's how it's made: round sandwich with random filing? Because definitions say it's a "minced beef sandwich" but lobbyists don't cry about chicken or fish burgers.

No. Burgers are made from different kinds of meat.

Just call vegan product a "plant patty". Or "heavily processed plant pulp disc" if you want more exact description. Or "disc of disappointment" if we go into more poetical marketing names territory.

Most definitions precise either it's made of beef, or include fish, veggie, turkey etc But if you want to have your own definition, cool, use it, nobody cares what your definition is.

Burgers, sweetie, are made of meat. Traditionally it used to be pork or beef, before USians stole the name and the concept. They definitely don't mean heavily processed plant pulp mostly suitable for animal feed - and I am glad EU parliament recognised that.

Murder round sandwich sounds OK to me too.
