Good. I don't want to be sold fake meat.

From the post:

>Wyoming ranchers support a new federal bill that would ban plant-based and lab-grown alternative protein products being passed off as farm- or ranch-raised meat or poultry. The federal Fair and Accurate Ingredient Representation on Labels (FAIR) Act calls for those types of products to be clearly labeled as “lab-grown” or “imitation.” The bill, introduced by Missouri Republican Rep. Mark Alford last week, is “really critical (and) something we’ve wanted to see for a long time,” said Jim Magagna, executive vice president of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association. It’s important for Wyoming beef producers in the long run because consumers are becoming more and more conscious of where their food comes from, he told Cowboy State Daily on Monday.

The idea is solid. People need to understand what they're buying. I actually read ingredient labels and some of the ingredients are funny because they clearly use euphemisms to describe things trying to hide what it really is. Fake meat is not hard to see because it's never big slabs of meat and it actually looks fake. But, if a grocer puts fake meat in the meat section without labeling it as such, that's fraud. Besides, is fake meat cheap now? It used to be much more expensive than real meat.
