Random news tidbit.
The Louisiana House of Representatives just passed House Bill 1117 two days ago. This bill establishes "Cajun" as a "certification mark" owned by the state of Louisiana that can be used only on food products that at least have been finished in the state.
Interesting that this was an issue for the house...
Also in the article is information on House Bill 1034, which authorizes in-state crawfish producers to vote on imposing a one-cent-per-pound fee on crawfish tails that are brought into the state and then use the proceeds to promote Louisiana crawfish. Dialogue surrounding the bill is said to have included the exchange below. How can you not be impressed with this debate?
Question: "What if I catch crawfish and sell them on the side of the road?"
Answer: "Then you're a thief."
