A highly publicised court case is ongoing in @@NAME@@. An alliance of dairy industry companies is collectively suing an upstart firm selling "Nameless Fake Cheese", a vegtable-based product made to be a close approximation of the stuff. The alliance is claiming that the use of the word "cheese" on the packaging is misleading the public, hurting their sales, while the upstart is arguing that since they market it as a lactose-free, vegan alternative that is clearly not real cheese, they should be allowed to keep the name. As the judges have cited a lack of clarity in the law, attention has turned to you to legislate this problem away.
validity: nation must have private industry
dairy must be legal
[option] "If it's not cheese, then why put it on the label?" rhetorically asks hotshot lawyer @@RANDOMNAME@@, representing the largest cheese corporation in @@NAME@@."Unless, maybe, they are deliberately trying to mislead my client's customers. As our research has demonstrated, at least 1% of buyers of this "Nameless Fake Cheese" do so under the false belief that they are buying a real cheese. Now, my clients don't wish for this product to be banned, merely that they alter the packaging to exclude the word "cheese". We must have a proper, legal definition for certain iconic foods such as champagne, nachos and, yes, cheese."
[effect] sales of 'yellow health stuff' has plummeted
[option] "Complete rubbish!" cries @@RANDOMNAME@@, the Marketing Director of the defending firm."We clearly put on a notice in the small print explaining that the food we're selling is not real cheese, and we never marketed it as such. It's explicitly called "Fake" for crying out loud! I think what's really happening is the old players don't like the newer, nimbler competition we're bringing to the table. To put it another way, we're innovating and they are not. There should be no legal definitions of any food items on the law code."
[effect] carbonated water is being marketed as champagne
[option] "Yuck," announces @@RANDOMNAME@@, after having just taken a bite of the offending item. "This 'health food' thing is genuinely repulsive. It tastes nothing like a good gouda. How about we do ban this stuff, so that this situation can never occur again. Same should go for anything labelled or pretending to be something it's not."
[effect] the Pear Phones company is hastily renaming itself into something less edible
