Gee. How come they don't have a law that protects beef producers, pork producers, dairy farmers, and the like?
You hear MDs, and RDs, and all sorts of crackpot nutritionists saying beef, butter, pork, cream, cheese will kill you. All without scientific evidence.
How come that's not illegal?

I don't know about Florida, but Texas does, or at least used to...Remember when they sued Oprah for calling Ground Beef unsafe ??? As for the Beef...you missed the big one: PETA/PCRM. They've been claiming for years now [with no scientific evidence to back it up] that Meat causes Impotence. If anyone should be sued under such laws, it should definitely be PETA and especially PCRM since their name falsely portrays themselves as Doctors, thus giving their fallacious claims seeming credibility.
