Industry leaders, lobbyists, advocates and politicians across the country are locked in a linguistic battle over what products can use the words “burger,” “milk” and “rice.”
If you’ve had any “almond drink” lately, you might have noticed that there’s a semantics battle happening among America’s food producers, politicians and public. At its heart are the questions: How should we label products that imitate other products? Who has the right to use certain words? What do those words truly mean?
“This law only affects people who want to deceive the public about how their food originated,” Arkansas state Rep. David Hillman, who introduced the legislation, told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. “And if you’re not trying to deceive the public, this will not affect you or any of the outlets who sell these products.”
Proposed dairy labeling legislation is “good old-fashioned protectionism,” wrote Paul Shapiro, the author of “Clean Meat: How Growing Meat Without Animals Will Revolutionize Dinner and the World,” in an opinion piece for The Post.Meat producers aren’t too happy with the Beyond Burger and the Impossible Burger. The two plant-based burgers are famous for how well they can substitute for meat — they even “bleed” thanks to ingredients such as beets, which replicate the color of a burger’s juices.
