Lady Bracknell: I feel bound to tell you that you are not down on my list of eligible young men [...] However, I am quite ready to enter your name, should your answers be what a really affectionate mother requires. 3 Do you smoke? Jack: Well, yes, I must admit I smoke. Lady Bracknell: I am glad to hear it. A man should always have an occupation of some kind. There are far too many 6 idle men in London as it is. How old are you? Jack: Twenty-nine. Lady Bracknell: A very good age to be married at. I have always been of the opinion that a man who desires to get 9 married should know either everything or nothing. Which do you know? Jack: I know nothing, Lady Bracknell.

Ranchers set to fight back against vegetarian “fake meat” Companies like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat are combining plant-based ingredients and science, rather than animals, to create fake-meat burgers and other products that taste like the real thing. 3 Now U.S. Cattlemen’s Association is looking to draw a line in the sand. The association launched what could be the first salvo in a long battle against plant-based foods. Earlier this month, the association filed a 15-page petition with the U.S. Department of Agriculture calling for an official definition for the 6 term “beef”, and more broadly, “meat”. “While at this time alternative protein sources are not a direct threat to the beef industry, we do see improper labeling of these products as misleading,” said Lia Biondo, the association’s policy and outreach director. “Our goal is to head 9 off the problem before it becomes a larger issue.” Not everyone sees it that way. Ethan Brown, founder and CEO of Beyond Meat, said consumers already know what they’re looking for when they’re browsing the grocery store aisles. But he doesn’t necessarily see the petition as a 12 bad thing. “I think it actually could help us more than it could hurt us because it starts the national dialogue around what really is meat, and if the origin of meat really matters to the consumer,” said Brown. 15 The cattle ranching group contends that if a product is going to be labeled “beef”, it should come from the flesh of cattle. And that means products like veggie burgers and Tofurky won’t make the cut. USA Today, February 25, 2018 (www.usatoday.com)
