The French government issued a decree Tuesday banning the term "steak" on the label of vegetarian products, saying it was reserved for meat alone.

LOL if you say so then we have settled this whole argument. Go ahead and let the France government know.

From other comments it sounds like you might be vegetarian or vegan. Would you like product to be mislabelled and contain products thatbyoubare not okay to eat, just because someone else thinks it doesn't matter and "vegan product" can be interpreted in many ways and it's stupid anyway?

Nobody is labelling plant based steak "cow steak (but not actually, it's gluten lol. Gotcha!)
