With the Beyond Meat IPO arguably the most successful of 2019, plant-based foods are definitely big business. Some states such as Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Dakota, and Arkansas have passed laws that prohibit companies from using terms such as "veggie bacon," "cauliflower rice," and "almond milk" in product labeling. Because consumers have decreased their consumption of animal derived foods, the meat and dairy industry see these laws as helping their businesses. Some claim such laws will prevent consumers from being confused. A former FDA commissioner notably came out in support of a similar federal proposal by stating that it made sense because, "[a]n almond doesn't lactate." Meanwhile, manufacturers of plant-based foods argue that consumers do not suffer from any confusion.

Commercial speech is protected by the First Amendment. The rules about commercial speech com from Central Hudson v. Public Service Commission, 447 U.S. 557 (1980). To determine whether government may regulate commercial speech, we look at a 4-part test. In order for a law restricting commercial speech to be considered constitutional, it must satisfy all 4 parts. If any of the 4 requirements are not met, the law would be unconstitutional.

1. The speech must be about a lawful activity and it must not be misleading.
2. The government must state a substantial interest in regulating the speech.
3. The regulation imposed by the government must directly advance the interest asserted.
4. The regulation must not be more extensive than necessary.

Answer the questions below in a response (250 words minimum) that you post to the discussion board. If appropriate, include personal experience as part of your answer.

1. Using the Central Hudson criteria, explain whether or not you think the laws restricting the use of terms such as "veggie bacon," "cauliflower rice," and "almond milk" are constitutional (i.e. whether they fulfill all of the criteria).
2. Read and respond to at least two other students' posts. Highlight the reason that you think most strongly supports your classmate's conclusion and explain why you agree or disagree. Each of your responses must be at least 50 words long.

Choose a living organism, and explain how it illustrates each of the characteristics of life.

Research and describe an organism or cell in which all 8 characteristics are not obvious. For example, coral looks like it does not move, red blood cells do not reproduce and have no DNA, frogs freeze in the winter and it therefore seems as if they do not maintain homeostasis, and so on.

Describe the missing feature, and explain how this organism still meets the criteria of a living thing.

Compare a living thing with a nonliving thing of your choice that has some of the characteristics that define life. For example, a car exhibits metabolism (burning gas and producing heat), a characteristic of life, but is not alive because it cannot reproduce.

Compare and contrast the following pairs based on the 8 characteristics that define life:

A rock and a snail

A lamp and a tree

Discuss some of the characteristics that fire shares with living things (it can grow, it metabolizes, and so on).
