Slogan Serves Up Trouble | Indianapolis News

A food truck owner in Indiana is fighting to stay in a state-run market after being abruptly kicked out over his slogan “You’ll love our meat in your mouth.” Despite using it for two decades without issue, the state cites vague complaints — none of which are documented — to justify removal. Scott Sims argues the phrase was meant to be playful, not offensive, and points to other businesses using similar double entendres. The case raises serious First Amendment questions: can governments censor speech — even for small businesses — unless it falls into narrowly defined categories like obscenity? Sims’ lawyer is now challenging the decision, fearing lost income and future exclusion, while state officials refuse to comment. The core issue? Whether the market’s vague rules allow for viewpoint discrimination — and whether the state can legally silence a vendor’s message.
