mary creagh.like sausage, burger and mince to describe their products, on the grounds they could mislead consumers. but a lords inquiry has heard that other descriptions, such as veggie tube or veggie disc, could deter people from buying food that supporters believe is healthier and better for the environment. so, instead of saying mock bacon, you'd be saying a wheat gluten shaped smoky paprika flavoured lump that is sliced thinly. it just would become quite impossible. who owns the word mince? if you look at the word mince, it means chopped up finely. you mince and onions, you mince garlic, you mince herbs. in fact, inside a mince pie, there's no meat, right? it's chopped up fruits. so i think language and terms like that mean that you can be overly restrictive on terms. the nfu is relaxed about vegetarian sausages and burgers but not other terms. i think we are quite concerned about, i think you used the term "ripping off", or sort of mimicking terms. we are quite concerned about that, as i said

earlier this morning, my colleague carrie gracie wasjoined by the money blogger lynnjames and the mp mary creaghommittee. mary began by explaining the scale of ths issue. the industry's voluntary initiatives have failed. they've got a voluntary initiative to tackle carbon, water and waste. and even if they meet those standards, which they haven't, that is far surpassed by the volume of clothing doubling in the last 15 years. so we've got an ever increasing mountain of clothes and no action to tackle it. and so really what we're saying is, you know, if you are going to report on your carbon emissions and we get to net zero, you have to report on your water and your way emissions as well. loads of them don't. so is this just a question of the government notjoining up the dots and kind of thinking it all through and getting up to speed? i mean they say they are dealing with this agenda. they have got a waste consultation which has just closed. in that waste consultation they have said that they will consider an extended producer responsibility and they've given a menu of five different things. so t
