(From George Monbiot’s book Regenesis, regarding countries banning #vegan food using terms like “milk” or “sausage”):
“If legislators are to insist on food literalism, they should at least be consistent.
“There is no dinosaur in turkey dinosaurs (and not much turkey).
“If a vegetarian hotdog is ruled out on the grounds that it contains no meat, the meat version should be ruled out on the grounds that it contains no dog.
“Minced meat is meat, but mincemeat isn't. Nor are sweetmeats, though sweetbreads are.
“Buffalo wings are an obvious attempt to mess with our heads. Shepherd's pie, or so the printed ingredients claim, contains no shepherd.
“And don't get me started on jelly babies.”
