Same folks will assure you that simply labeling GMO products will kill businesses.

Oh, that’s the point. Only Libtards are vegetarian so kill their food supply, kill the Libtards or something. It’s a convoluted plot but the brightest minds of Mississippi are still tweeting it.

This is definitely near the terminus of ignorance as a virtue.

It seems like they should also ban "chicken burger" and "fish burger", for the sake of consistency. Also: Is this analogous to the whole shift from calling soy milk "milk", to calling it "soy beverage" or whatever they are doing these days? (for the record, I'm vegan, and love a good veggie burger.)

So, just call them Hamberders instead - that'll throw the RWNJ's into a veritable spark-shooting fit of cognitive dissonance.

Bet they could call 'em Veggie Burghers*
and get away with it scot-free!

Would that get me Arrested in Mississippi?

*is soylent green vegetarian?

Republican style small government. Makes me want to switch to veggie burgers. blah

Because Mississippi has NO REAL PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH, AM I RIGHT? WHAT THE FUCK.

Call 'em Freedom Burgers-
because - freedom!

Jesus fucking christ

What happens if the packages are from some company in another state, and are already labeled "b*rgers" (redacted for our Mississippi brethren).

I'm too lazy to look it up; doesn't this law violate the Commerce Clause or some shit?

Mississippi. Making Florida look good since at least 1817.

Nothing says freedom like sending people to jail for using the word/phrase 'veggie burger.'

Does this mean they'll ban the phrase in all books it appears in in their schools and libraries too? I guess we'll soon see a book burning event. Scary.

@10 spunkbutter: I like your idea and second it. Now will Mississippi adopt it?
@12: Seattlebreeze: Does Mississippi have libraries? I didn't see any thirty years ago when I was in military technical training. You're right, though--book burnings sound more like it, and I agree that that's scary.

Mississippi, the state with the highest national statistic of severe obesity and low education levels, goes batshit crazy over "veggie burgers". Why am I not surprised? Are they that afraid that The Heart Attack Grill (for Mississippians venturing to Las Vegas), McDonald's and Hardee's will go out of business? Because they all wanna look like Trumpty Dumpty?

"If you can satiate your taste buds while doing less harm to the environment, why would you choose otherwise?"

I can do both: venison tastes great, and reducing the deer population is good for both the remaining deer AND the local plant ecology! A win-win-win!

(P.S. Is 'Ole Miss really this stupid? Apparently so...)

Mississippi! What are you doing? It is the leftists who ban stupid words (like "owner" in the NBA, for example, or "cotton" on campus)! Don't be like the retarded left! Be better!

P.s. That is, of course, if this article is even true. Can't really trust the fake news of today's "churnalists".
