If only Senators would pass a law making phony legislation illegal. Then we'd have something. We could lock up Obama and all of the Dems in Congress for their thoroughly phony "jobs" bills that destroy employment in the US. Maybe we could use the initiative process here in CA to pass a law about Truth in Advertising for Laws.

The government is borrowing 3 billion a day and these morons are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Such a sticky topic. I hope they don’t waffle on the decision.

This is simply a racist bit of legislation. After all a major producer of syrup is Aunt Jemima.

"This is fraud, plain and simple..." Fraud is already a felony.

We need a law against fake butter with tricky names.

True maple syrup, which is incredibly high in sugar, might send a diabetic into a coma. Thus, there is a continuing market for the false stuff.

Don’t we already have laws against false advertising in the Uniform Commercial Code?

What’s next? A law to criminalize syrup production for private use?
I hate to tell them but I see collection buckets handing from maple trees here in southern Michigan in the spring. That’s gotta be cutting into the profits of “big Syrup”.

I buy artificial, sugar-free, kinda-maply-flavored goo. The Walmart house brand!
If something isn’t “Vermont maple syrup” - which any idiot should be able to say it is or isn’t, based on whether it’s cooked up from maple sap from trees in Vermont, or not - it shouldn’t be labelled “Vermont maple syrup.”

Can we make women faking it a felony also?

I was promised COLOSSAL pistachios. All I got was this bag, with enormous pistachios. Where's my Senator so I can get justice for this issue of vital national importance?

I wonder how much tax dollars were spent on committees to come up with an acronym for MAPLE.
Can we get a bill passed called the STOP Act (Senators Totally Over Paid) so they’d quit this fiddling while the country burns?

They need to prosecute anybody putting fake goods of any kind on the market. Fake drugs kill people. Fake aircraft parts are a crash waiting to happen. Now fake syrup. Medical concerns are absolutely real.

The real damage being done to the Vermont maple syrup industry is the fact that a bottle of “real” maple syrup costs an arm and a leg.
