Not too suprising, given CA's history. Next they'll be passing a law that you have to eat a vegetarian meal, with no cooking allowed.
I'll have to be a bulb bootlegger selling the old bulbs from my trunk!!!!!
Along with the illegal toilets.

As a Bible student, I can tell you that Adam & Eve were vegetarians. It was only Noah and his decendants that were allowed to eat meat.
Adam & Eve started out in trouble. By the time we get to Noah, the world was so hoplessly depraved, wicked, and corrupt that God had to destroy it and start over.
I suspect there IS a connection between vegetarianism and debauchery.
California is empirical proof.
I've heard THAT before, and seen no actual evidence for it.
Beer is vegetarian. :-)
Cows are vegetarians, so you can still eat those...

One of the quotations in my file is "The best way to enjoy a vegetarian diet is to feed it to a cow, and eat the cow".
Exactly. Vegetables are not food. Vegetables are what food eats.
Beef is one of the things I like best. Maybe that has something to do with growing up on a farm where we raised cows.
The farm is still there. Of course there's ANOTHER thing you can find there, but that's not to eat. However it does remind me of something that gets posted on usenet a lot.
Dan O'Connor? Is that you?
aem sends...
I did, but we're not eating US beef again until they start doing more than token testing for BSE.
Maybe that has something to do
I always say, you are what you eat, and I know cows eat vegetables, so cows must be vegetables and that makes me a vegetarian.
No, that would make you a vegetable.
