Terms like ‘steak’, ‘grill’

I get the reasoning behind wanting a clear distinction between animal products and alternative products, but 'grill'? In my understanding, a grill is the appliance you cook (or, in this case, grill) your food with. You can grill vegetables. So why would they ban 'grill'?

Because the rich and powerful meat lobby wants to make life hell for their meat free competitors. The only logic here is money.
