And while the #EU is confronted by numerous serious crises, this - using state power to prohibit people from calling a burger a burger unless someone is killed for it - is the issue European right has focused on.
Today the EU parliament voted to ban the word burger if they are made with plant protein, instead of animal protein. 🤦🏻♀️
They claim it’s to stop consumers being ‘confused between meat and plant products’ - solving a problem that nobody had!
This new rule leaves a bad taste in the mouth…

In this NYT piece, Finland gets billed as Europe’s radical climate leader.
Meanwhile the distance between promises and policy is growing. The story boosts the 2035 net-zero brand without asking if this cabinet is on course. Targets haven’t changed. Implementation has, and not for the better. 🧵
