Non-Meat Labeling Laws?

Good use of legislative time. If you know how to read this is not as issue, and I have never been in a store where meat substitutes were placed alongside the actual meat products.

It's a case of animal versus vegetable — and the steaks are high.

A growing number of states have been passing laws saying that only foods made of animal flesh should be allowed to carry labels like "meat," "sausage," "jerky," "burger" or "hot dog."

Who has a beef with this deal? Makers of plant-based foods, of course — like Tofurky. But also the American Civil Liberties Union. Both are in a coalition that this week sued Arkansas, arguing that the state's new label restrictions — set to go into effect this week — censor speech and play favorites with industries. Similar lawsuits are pending against Missouri and Mississippi.

That said they should get over it and stop bowing down before their meat lobbyist overlords

I have not seen it anywhere but with the other meat free products, and it says "plant based" in size 478303 font on the packaging. So even if some stores are stocking it in the meat aisle, don't pick up random packages of whatever at the store. Just pay attention.

Saw this yesterday, very timely.

This is going to be about as great an investment as clean coal.

Maybe you should shop somewhere other than dollar general.

Veggie alternatives are pretty good though. Burgers at least. The fake hot dogs and stuff freak me out. Though I do not think you should go in with an expectation that it will taste like meat. That’s not right. Still good.

Nanny state. We don’t need no non-meat labia laws.

I mean, aren’t all labias meat? Except, of course, Turtleneck’s silicone Real Doll

No, they don’t post here because of blues like you.

It’s adorable when you try to act tough, Travis.

I feel like we went through this exact same discussion with Soy & Almond Milk and the like.

Poor guys can’t stand on the merits of their own products, they have to restrict the free speech of others. It’s anti-American and anti-business. They want to put people out of work.
