AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a congressional bill aimed at eliminating state-mandated food warning labels, with supporters advocating for uniformity in food labeling across the nation. Rep. Mike Rogers emphasizes the need for consistent warnings, noting that food products, such as chicken, are distributed nationwide. The conversation takes a humorous turn as participants playfully question the terminology used, suggesting a misunderstanding of the term "grown" in relation to chickens, comparing it to crops like corn and wheat. The mention of genetic engineering adds a lighthearted speculation about future food innovations.

I found this gem in a current article about the congressional bill removing state-mandated food warning labels:

The bill's supporters argue that consumers deserve the same warnings on supermarket shelves across the country. The bill would allow a state to seek a nationwide warning from FDA.

"We ought to do it in all 50 states," said Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich. "Chicken grown in Louisiana is going to end up on a plate in Michigan."

So apparently chickens are a type of plant. :confused:

Ambiguous term. You can raise corn and wheat, so I guess you can grow chickens.

Soon, probably. Genetic engineering. I bet the Japanese thought it up: chicken on the cob, or something.
