Mississippi makes it a jailable offense to call plant-based or cultured-meat patties "burgers"

It’s their nasty sense of humor. They’re a recipient state, and enjoy messing with the minds of the donor states they profit from.

But… but… they don’t have actual eggs in them, so you should be tossed into a cell for even thinking it.

Well that comes with making the creation process cheaper and the economy of scale if/when it becomes more popular.

I still contend there isn’t a huge overlap in the two markets. That may change in the future. At any rate, overlap and direct competition isn’t a bad thing either.

Agricultural interests have done or tried to do bullshitty things in pretty much any state that is reliant in an outsized way on agriculture. Idaho and Wisconsin pop to mind but I know I’ve read about others I don’t have time to look up.

hot dogs are made from chicken, pork, beef, and whatever other crap they can find. It’ll be an improvement when folks start making them out of soylent green.

Also, I’m not buying “boygers” unless they’re made from real boy.

I think I recall reading about some farmer or group that wanted ti test all of their cattle voluntarily to prive their herd BSE free. Supposedly the… I think USDA… wouldn’t let them.

Hot dogs are a misnomer.

They’re not really hot.

The title of this article refers to Mississippi, but all the links are regarding last year’s bill in Missouri. MO = Missouri, MS = Mississippi.

Also, after extensive testing, I have detected zero percentages of pork, keratin, or human flesh in this dessert tray of pig’s ears, bear claws and lady fingers. Expect contact from my attorneys imminently.

What is this?

The only pigs’ ears I know of are the actual pigs’ ears one feeds to a dog.

I’m not from a English-speaking country, and in my language the word for eggplant has not relation to eggs.
I had not even realized before that eggplant have egg on it.

Maybe the really guilty people are your English ancestors which introduced so much misthinking on your language.

In my experience, pigs ears, the pastry, are what German bakeries call Palmiers.

And elephant ears, the teeth of combs, potato eyes, clock hands and faces, table legs… even the mouths of rivers.

I had no idea how far up the conspiracy went!

We had a family farm and suspected we had a problem with BSE and did report to the appropriate authorities. They refused to investigate. They simply said that there is no BSE in this area.

We, of course, could have been wrong, but the evidence was enough to merit an investigation, IMHO.

ETA: To be fair to the authorities, these were goats not cattle and BSE hadn’t been officially discovered in goats at the time.
