Hindering an innovative plant-based market under the guise of “consumer protection” is right out absurd — and in the face of the climate crisis, outright irresponsible. Ridiculous to fight wording, instead of actually improving the sustainability and quality of our food market.
🚨 European Parliament votes to ban ‘veggie burger’ & ‘plant-based sausage’.
Today in Brussels, MEPs approved restrictions on common names like burger, steak, and sausage for plant-based foods (355 for, 247 against, 33 abstentions).

Christian-Frederic Kaiser uses microfluidics to follow Bacillus subtilis colonization of plant roots.
Detected increased reactive oxygen species as more bacteria colonize the root, which shapes the pattern of colonization.
