What's the problem with 'meat glue'?

Okay, so the European Parliament has vetoed 'meat glue', but I don't really get what is the problem.

Maybe it is because I'm living a mostly vegetarian life. Or maybe it is because all the fear mongering on food stuff (GMO, meat glue, pesticides etc.) really gets on my nerves.

Force food producers to write down everything they put into and onto my food somewhere where I can read it before I buy the stuff - and then let me decide whether I want it or not.

Full stop.

PS.: But EP webeditors' idea to sell the topic on Facebook asking "A steak or a s+t+e+a+k for dinner?" was still funny.

100% in agreement with you...

But then the EP isn't rational, is it. Wants to look like it's 'doing something'. Groan.

Die Entscheidung des Parlaments war richtig. Auch deine Forderung nach kompletten Inhaltsangaben auf Nahrungsmittelverpackungen.

Die Entscheidungs ist für mich deshalb zu begrüßen, da ein möglicherweise qualitativ nicht sehr hochwertiges Nahrungsmittel verhindert wurde. Ich hoffe diese Entscheidung kann ein wenig dazu beitragen, dass die Nahrungsmittelqualität innerhalb Europas ansteigt ... Mehr Bio, mehr natürliche Produkte ...
