Beware of french washing

[exile]

A slippery slope Wooly.
I personally would prefer to know if I am buying local goods or things that have come from perhaps 1000 km away.

And where should this let's make everything bland/ stop?

At the risk of destroying the protected origins of goods;
Should Bresse chicken become simply EU free range chicken
Champagne become another EU fizzy wine
Roquefort cheese become EU blue cheese from sheep milk
and so on?

[tagh]

I agree with you exile, but the rush to create a lockstep Europe is creating tensions and irregularities that have been deliberately sidelined by Brussels and may blow up one day. Certainly they will play into the hands of extremists.

A packaged cheese bought in Tesco labelled as "produced in France with French milk" also had an additional stick on label " not for the EU."

No idea what 12foot ladder means, and I don't want to accept their cookies, or subscribe. Perhaps someone could copy and paste the gist of the article?

Its a paywall breaker/web cleaner Bayleaf. Used as Hotrodder describes.
ie : Find the 12foot ladder site and paste the copied url from the unreadable page. It breaks the paywall barrier.

This article is dated December 2023, so I don't know if things changed. It states that the 12foot ladder site was taken down by its website hosting provider.
