Fuck it, why make sure that words mean anything! Just allow everyone to lie and be dishonest all the time with no repercussions. I'm sure society will do just fine.
I guess once someone chokes to death on the bone of a boneless wing, the case will be revisited. Maybe... Maybe then it'll be fixed... If we're lucky.
Frankly, the real issue here is that "boneless wings" is a bullshit term in the first place. They're just chicken nuggets, people!
This reminds me of an interesting article I read about unintended consequences from rules like this.
Advocates for families coping with allergies lobbied for years to have sesame added to the list of major allergens.
Under the new law, enforced by the Food and Drug Administration, companies must now explicitly label sesame as an ingredient or separately note that a product contains sesame.
If the ingredients don’t include sesame, companies must take steps to prevent the foods from coming in contact with any sesame, known as cross-contamination.
Officials at Olive Garden said that starting this week, the chain is adding “a minimal amount of sesame flour” to the company’s famous breadsticks “due to the potential for cross-contamination at the bakery.”
Chick-fil-A has changed its white bun and multigrain brioche buns to include sesame, while Wendy’s said the company has added sesame to its French toast sticks and buns.
United States Bakery, which operates Franz Family Bakeries in California and the Northwest, notified customers in March that they would add a small amount of sesame flour to all hamburger and hot dog buns and rolls “to mitigate the risk of any adverse reactions to sesame products.”
If the ingredients don’t include sesame, companies must take steps to prevent the foods from coming in contact with any sesame, known as cross-contamination.
Is this why soy is in fucking everything?! Because companies would rather add it for a few cents and say it contains it versus spending dollars to prevent its inclusion?
Fucking hell...
No, soy is in everything because it is cheaper than other ingredients that serve the same purpose. Think high fructose corn syrup vs sugar.
Imagine going to law school just to end up fighting about chicken wings
It can save or ruin lifes apparently.
Might be more interesting than some of the other bullshit.
Finally starting to solve the real problems.
I mean, it is an outrageous decision by the court.
