Me too. Whenever I’m in a restaurant in Miss/La/Ark, and see on the menu that the fish are “local/state” farmed, I’m always much more apt to order it. It’s like a Good Housekeeping seal. Otherwise I assume it to be some steroid-filled, mutant Chinese product, and I avoid it like the plague.
So I’m not bothered when a state or locality makes such laws. Of course, sometimes laws aren’t even needed. I recall some scuttlebutt about some restaurants in Louisiana which opted to import and serve Chinese crawfish instead of buying from local crawfish farmers/suppliers. Some of those restaurants seemed to mysteriously burn down. Problem solved. No law needed.
How many restaurants can afford an audit trail like this law is requiring?
Consumers should be made aware of where their food comes from and what it actually is.
This guy is raising some false flag with his concern with Mississippi State Regulations on retailers, obviously has some connection with importing the crud.
If it's so important to you, couldn't you have spent five minutes researching it on your own?
Not a very good solution to the problem, IMO.
