Ban veg foods using meat-based names: German Agri Minister
German Agriculture Minister Christian Schmidt has called for banning vegetarian foods using meat-based names such as 'vegetarian schnitzel' and 'vegan currywurst', claiming they mislead consumers. Favouring clear identification, he said, "I don't want anyone to pretend that these pseudo-meat dishes are actual meat dishes". Earlier, he rallied for this cause from the perspective of vegetarians.
