I'm about as bougie as they come. I'm all about A5 wagyu and caviar and otoro cuts and all that shit. But a line must be drawn. Southern cuisine is beyond that line.

Old fast food chicken is about the saddest thing. I was craving some Luau Chicken, off the menu so I got it's little brother Cordon Bleu. Curlies were fine. and Mozz sticks were good. They've grown on my so much over the years, Arby's mozz. They retain just enough grease.
But the chicken was dry and sad, and made me feel sad. wasn't good mood food.

I flew to Vegas on my 30th birthday just to eat at Hash House, it was absolutely worth it. Now we have one in Plano and life is complete.

It's people in agriculture getting worried about "fake" products being sold as equivalent to the real thing. It really got started with the lab cultured "meat" that they're working on. Farmers and ranchers don't want that stuff being sold as "meat". Given their choice they would probably name it "test tube goo" or something like that. Almond milk is considered a cautionary tale. There's really no reason to call it "milk". It's not milk in any way. That's not to say that it's not a viable product, but it is definitely not milk.
I have no idea why the ACLU is getting involved though, that's weird.

Free speech, for starters.
This is one example. Arkansas was aiming to make it so that you couldn't use the word 'turkey' to describe a 'tofu turkey' or Tofurky, because there wasn't any turkey in it. But good fucking luck describing your tofu-based turkey replacement when you legally can't use the word 'turkey'.
This has been brewing for a while now. Just wait until we get the court cases over whether or not beef grown in test tubes can be called beef, even if on a number of levels it is indistinguishable.
TOFURKY V. SOMAN -- Complaint

An even crazier case: Florida tells a woman that she can not sell her skim milk, as skim milk, because they required skim milk to have Vitamin A added back in afterwards to replace what was lost from skimming. Her options were either add Vit A, call her skim milk 'imitation skim milk', or sue.
She sued, and won.

Mississippi Food Labeling Law - Institute for Justice
In 2019, after lobbying from the meat industry, Mississippi banned plant-based burgers from using meat-related words, such as burger or hotdog, in their marketing. IJ stepped in to represent plant-based companies in a First Amendment challenge to this law, and eventually the state backed down.

I'm all for not calling fake meat simply 'meat', up to and including stuff grown in a laboratory being clearly labeled for what it is, but a lot of the states with these laws seem to be panicking and passing laws that go too far.
I'm certain that legislators didn't come up with the idea of legislation on their own. Various lobbies are in their ears, complaining that their industry will be ruined if legislators don't protect them. And legislators are probably more concerned with which group carries more influence at the ballot box.
