“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.

      ¿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. 🤌🏼

      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.
