    Not just me, also a whole fucking coutry that just legislated about it and more countries will follow.

    It’s a new thing, it takes time. I and its not just about me not being able to read, it’s all the customers that will be mislead and sold processed food instead of, you know, a steak. That some people don’t Sure it is allowed, this is a while new thing, give time to regulators to catch up, as France is doing.

    Also, Oxford dictionary has four definitions for steak, none of them is that spew of words that you just made up to fit your narrative:

    1. a thick slice of good quality beef
    2. a thick slice of any type of meat
    3. beef that is not of the best quality, often sold in small pieces and used in pies, stews, etc.
    4. a large thick piece of fish

      English isn’t eveb any EU member’s language lol who cares about oxford.

      And do you really think anything without a transparent packaging would be unprocessed? To be precise, every food in a supermarket beside raw vegetables/fruits is processed. Even meat. You’re confused and living an illusion

        English not a eu member language uh? How about first you think about which countries on the continent speak what language, then which ones are members, then you go and read the Wikipedia page about it and we pretend this conversation never happened and noone will hold it against you not even the stupid part about packaging means processed and me being the one confused here

      Ah yes, the good old dictionary. I’m glad this unchanged document of all human language has remained unchanged for millenia, helping us communicate effectively through the ages.
