#2They're not banning veggie 'steaks' and 'sausages', they're saying they need a new name. Title is inaccurate, worth changing @dang.

the single quotes make it pretty clear IMO, not sure it is that important

Original title is much clearer.

#5Not being able to use Sausage is ridiculous. It's a tube of something. It doesn't need to be meat. You already need a qualifier to understand what it's made from.

It's always good to question whether that something really has any meat in it anyway!

#7I eat only plant-based foods and actually prefer unique names/spellings for these products. It can be worrying when an ostensibly vegan restaurant sells something that really tastes like meat and the menu says "beef" or whatever.

I wouldn't categorize "beef" with "steak" and "sausage". The former is a substance, the latter are formats.

#10The US meat and dairy industry have asked for similar bans as well.
The problem is, consumers aren't actually confused.
Different names will used if need be and consumers will continue the trend of reducing their meat consumption for environmental, health, or ethical reasons.
