"Far too long the issue has gone unchecked," he said. "Broccoli is not rice. Cell cultures are not meat. And certainly tofu burgers are not meat."

Thompson was backed by state Agriculture Commissioner Mike Strain and representatives from the rice and cattle industries when he introduced his bill in the committee he chairs last week.

He also has a bill on behalf of the dairy industry that would target products like almond milk and soy milk, though the Plant Based Foods Association said that bill would not have any practical impacts, as it relies on the federal government to make changes.

first they came for the cauliflower rice, and i said nothing, because i ate good ole Acadiana-grown rice

then, they came for the almond milk, and i said nothing because i enjoy Kleinpeter milk

then, they came for tigerdroppings, because it didn't actually revolve around shite. and there was nobody left
