“This ban is a massive win for Texas ranchers, producers, and consumers,” Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller said in a statement following the bill’s passage. “Texans have a God-given right to know what’s on their plate, and for millions of Texans, it better come from a pasture, not a lab. It’s plain cowboy logic that we must safeguard our real, authentic meat industry from synthetic alternatives.”

Texas joins Indiana, Mississippi, Montana and Nebraska in enacting new laws this year; Alabama and Florida did so last year. In March, the Oklahoma House approved a similar bill that did not advance out of the Senate this session.

      Is it not the case in the US that cowboy something means that something is a scam/crook/dishonest?

      I assumed cowboy means scammer/crook was common in all English speaking countries.

        I’m not a native English speaker though I’m good enough at it that I usually understand sayings and proverbs without issue. I’ve never heard of this cowboy <something> however.

        You just said the same thing twice, except framed the fact as an innocent question first with your personal assumption as its reference point. I’m going to assume it’s a language thing and not a shitty argument tactic, though…

        The short answer is no.

      ¿Por que no los dos?

      Clownboy has the same number of syllables and even phonic adjacency with only minor alveolar adds. ✊🏼 I mean, they’re all really into dressup, after all… Call 'em like ya see 'em. 🤌🏼
