It's not, and I never said that it was; quite the opposite actually.

I said that it's odd that these things are written in law seems as we already have laws that cover this more broadly. Attempting to maintain in written law explicit definitions of every food that humans can fathom, and how they are presently produced, is clearly untenable.

If you have a vauger law you get all sorts of arguments that "well, cheddar doesn't have to be cheddared" and "10% meat is enough in meat sauce" etc, etc.

Seems pretty clearly tenable to me. It is, in fact, being tened. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Really? You're genuinely arguing that every single edible substance and combination thereof ought to be recorded in written law?

No. I didn't argue that. Happy to keep talking if you want to respond to what I actually did say.

My apologies, perhaps you need to elaborate on what you meant when you wrote:

in response to:
