When is a #sausage not really a sausage? Ask the #meat #lobby


Most of what you eat is sausages

I mean, if we’re going to get literal about it. Sausage derives from the Latin salsicus, which means β€œseasoned with salt”everything and nothing, a Borgesian meta-concept that retreats as you approach it.

But to the legislators of the EU, a sausage can now have only one meaning: a cylindrical object containing meat

Never mind that cylindrical objects containing no meat have been marketed under names such as #Glamorgan sausage (selsig Morgannwg) for at least 150 years

Never mind that even Germans once felt the need to call animal sausages #mettwurst, to distinguish them from other kinds

Never mind that almost everyone knows what β€œveggie sausage”, β€œvegan sausage” or β€œplant-based sausage” mean

A recent survey of 20,000 Dutch people found that 96% are not confused by such terms, which is probably a higher percentage than those who can readily distinguish left from right. The #consumer must at all costs be protected from an imaginary threat.

Since WWII (excluding Germany & Japan during wartime), the USA has repeatedly attacked sovereign nations across the world.
Bombs, invasions, regime changesβ€”often based on pure lies, always with zero accountability.

β€’ What gives America this arrogance of power?
β€’ Who elected the USA as the undeclared boss of the world?
β€’ International law for others, immunity for itself.
β€’ Democracy preached, destruction delivered.

This is imperialism masked as morality.
