Vegan Food vs the Meat Lobby: Unconstitutional New Labeling Law Taken to Court
As anyone who’s seen a Cheerios box or Coca-Cola bottle knows, a product’s name is often the biggest thing on it. Other words on product labels are usually much smaller, except for large warnings required to highlight dangers, like on cigarette and alcohol labels.
https://ij.org/press-release/new-lawsuit-challenges-unconstitutional-oklahoma-labeling-law-that-tries-to-herd-vegan-food-companies-out-of-the-state/
But this year, at the meat lobby’s prompting, Oklahoma will start treating safe and healthy plant-based meat alternatives like these products. Oklahoma’s new law forces plant-based food businesses to completely overhaul their labels with mandatory, oversized disclaimers. This compelled-speech requirement would have a devastating effect on companies like Upton’s Naturals—an indepen...

As anyone who’s seen a Cheerios box or Coca-Cola bottle knows, a product’s name is often the biggest thing on it. Other words on product labels are usually much smaller, except for large warnings required to highlight dangers, like on cigarette and alcohol labels.
https://ij.org/press-release/new-lawsuit-challenges-unconstitutional-oklahoma-labeling-law-that-tries-to-herd-vegan-food-companies-out-of-the-state/
But this year, at the meat lobby’s prompting, Oklahoma will start treating safe and healthy plant-based meat alternatives like these products. Oklahoma’s new law forces plant-based food businesses to completely overhaul their labels with mandatory, oversized disclaimers. This compelled-speech requirement would have a devastating effect on companies like Upton’s Naturals—an independently owned, Chicago-based manufacturer of vegan foods. Upton’s Naturals markets its foods to consumers around the nation who are specifically looking for alternatives to meat. Unsurprisingly, Upton’s Natural’s labels proudly state that its foods are “100% Vegan.” But under Oklahoma’s so-called “Meat Consumer Protection Act”—which goes into effect on November 1, 2020—these and similar labels become illegal, with potential fines and even criminal penalties for violations. Oklahoma’s law has nothing to do with protecting consumers and everything to do with protecting the meat industry from honest competition. No reasonable consumer who buys Upton’s Naturals’ foods thinks they’re buying animal meat. Instead, people seek out these foods because they want to enjoy something tasty not made from animals. And Upton’s Naturals has a right to advertise its foods to those consumers using the plain language that consumers understand. That is why Upton’s Naturals—and the Plant Based Foods Association (PBFA) of which it’s a member—teamed up with the Institute for Justice to file a federal lawsuit challenging Oklahoma’s unconstitutional compelled-disclaimer requirement.

Texas Mayor Shares Secrets Of His 'Vegan Town' With Oklahoma
Posted: Jul 07, 2014 8:52 PM EST Updated: Jul 07, 2014 11:10 PM EST

Being one of the country's most unhealthy states is costly in sickness, medical and insurance costs, a lower quality-of-life, and early death. However, one Texas town is working to turn the tide on chronic disease. Being one of the country's most unhealthy states is costly in sickness, medical and insurance costs, a lower quality-of-life, and early death. However, one Texas town is working to turn the tide on chronic disease.
Marshall, Texas - Diseases of the dinner table continue to drag Oklahoma down. We're a national leader for heart disease, high-blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol, stroke, cancer and diabetes.
Being one of the country's most unhealthy states is costly in sickness, medical and insurance costs, a lower quality-of-life, and early death. However, one Texas town is working to turn the tide on chronic disease.
Marshall, Texas has a population of 25,000. It's cattle country, with a food culture, like the rest of the south, centered on meat, sugar, processed and fatty fried foods. Like Oklahoma, it's known as America's "stroke belt." But to sit at dinner with Marshall's Mayor Ed Smith and his wife, Amanda, you'll hear a different tale.
"If somebody wants to get control of their health, and turn things around, your body will heal itself very quickly," said Mayor Ed Smith.
Six years ago, Mayor Smith was 40 pounds heavier and diagnosed with prostate cancer. Knowing they needed to make a change, the Smiths Began eating a plant-based, whole foods diet of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains. Amazingly, his prostate cancer disappeared.
"Most of these chronic diseases we have in the United States, for the most part, and even a lot of our cancers are driven by what we're eating." Mayor Smith said.
Buoyed by his success, the mayor and his wife offered to share what they had learned.
"We've had so many people come up to us that we've not even met that tell us their success stories, that is so rewarding," said Amanda Smith.
In fact, once a month, crowding in a room at the fire house, they share home-cooked healthy foods, exchange recipes and tell their success stories.
"I was 60 pounds heavier, so because of a plant-based diet, this is where I am today," said Bill Dinsmore of Shreveport, Louisiana.
Sharon Clark of Nacogdoches, Texas also saw success.
"I wasn't even conscious at first that I was losing weight 'til people started saying 'are you on a diet?' and I'm thinking, 'no, I've changed my lifestyle is what I've done, I've gotten healthy," she said.
Marshall's Fire Chief Reggie Cooper was 50 pounds heavier and taking medicine every day for Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol. Then he too switched to a plant-based diet.
"In 28 days, what I couldn't do in five years, I was able to get off all the medications," Cooper said. "I haven't been on medication since."
All because in a world where arterial-stents and open-heart surgeries are considered "normal," a man in Texas draws headlines for eating his vegetables.
"The end result is it's been a success in people's lives that we've seen," Mayor Smith said. "We've seen phenomenal changes in people's health."
