The new fight by down in the Mississippi. Mississippi banning veggie burgers labeling themselves as "burgers".

I'm sure this has nothing to do with lobbyists from the livestock industry.

Impossible and Beyond are already well branded enough that this won't cause them an issue.
Impossible patty or Impossible sandwich. Problem solved.

The usual states are to blame here, I see. Maybe they should spend less time trying to criminalize the use of the term burger for plant based products, and more time trying not to be a backwards, third world state.
Hardly the only country with weird rules about food naming.
IIRC you can't call a Hershey's bar "Chocolate" in the UK.
Lol, this usually is necessary to provide evidence that consumers are confused or mislead by vegetarian/vegan options. And consumers by and large don't seem to be confused by what and isn't real meat.
When culture wars got you so shook you have to make a law to protect the sanctity of the word burger.
Onward Christian soldiers and all that Jazz, big yay to the meat industry for getting scared enough to lobby for laws like this. Really don't understand how it leaves corporate law to criminal charges, is there anything the R's can't twist and beat until it's unrecognizable?

The intent obviously isn't the same, but it's the same reasoning that keeps Velveeta from calling itself "cheese" right?
Though if you can have pork hot dogs and beef hot dogs and turkey hot dogs, it's kinda hard to say you can't have vegetable hot dogs too.
Doesn't Mississippi also have veggie farmers to lobby against this?

But, but muh free market!!! This sounds an awful like regulation.
I work in a grocery store and Beyond Burgers are flying off the shelves. Like, when we first started carrying them we'd receive a couple cases every week or two. Now it's like, 5 cases every 2 days for the burgers and 2 for each flavor of the sausages. I actually prefer them now myself.
Get fucked beef industry.

Same with hot dog. But this is about trying to sabotage a product they are afraid of competing directly with.
Our biggest crop is soy, so I'm actually a bit surprised that interest didn't win out.
They've got an alternative name. It's Veggie Burger/Meat-free burger. Nobody is buying burgers, going home, throwing them on the grill and biting in only to be shocked that they were lied to and that this is actually vegetable patty
They're always called veggie burgers or similar. The boxes for these heavily tout that they're meat-free
I wonder if this is a free speech case. Should look into that. Shithole of a state government along with their supporters.
Seems like a pretty clear first amendment violation. "Burger" isn't a type of meat. Nothing is being misrepresented. I expect this dumb law will be struck down.
Mississippi man was duped into grilling a package of vegie-burgers yesterday. He was so confused. You wouldn't believe the embarrassment he brought to his family line.
I have been told he is no longer welcome at the independence day cookout.

Republicans. They demand* industry self regulation and letting the marketplace of ideas guide us. Get government out of businesses**!

Can they get away with throwing in an extra letter or something? Like call it a veggie burrger. Burgger. Burgerr... lol
Thank goodness their priorities are in the right place.
*eats a burger and drives across a bridge, which immediately collapses*

Just reads as the meat lobby shaking in their boots.
Which I'm ecstatic about, get wrecked losers.

"Well yes, sausages have to contain me-"
Like, calling veggie foods "sausages" or "burgers" isn't even a recent thing. Strange how politicians and lobbyists are suddenly up in arms about it now as soon as people started making veggie alternatives that actually appeal to a wider audience.
