Supreme Court Published Mushroom Recipes!

The U. S. Government is the world's largest publisher. You would not believe the things the government knows and wants to share with you. Here's an example of what you can find in this series of newsletters:

SUPREME COURT & MUSHROOM RECIPES: A LEGAL “FIRST”?? After Congress passed the Mushroom Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Act that mandates that fresh mushroom handlers pay assessments that are used primarily to fund advertisements promoting mushroom sales. The United Foods Corporation that handles mushrooms did not want to pay the assessments. The Secretary of Agriculture took the United Food Company to court to enforce the law and the case ultimately appeared on the Docket of the U. S. Supreme Court, which decided the case and resolved the problem. As part of the Court’s decision, Justice J. Breyer wrote a dissenting opinion that included an appendix: Let Your Love Mushroom, a two-page brochure list of mushroom recipes issued by the Mushroom Council of Roseville California. The Supreme Court’s decision, UNITED STATES ET AL V. UNITED FOODS, INC, October Term 2000, Slip Opinion, R-81, Docket No. 00-276, Argued April 17, 2001-Decided June 25, 2001 has been issued as Preliminary Print (JU 6.8/a: 533/pt. 2) and the Appendix is found on pages 430-431. The online version of this Decision can be found at www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/00slipopinion.html as a 32 page Opinion in a pdf file. The mushroom recipes are found on pages 31-32. This inclusion of a list of mushroom recipes in this Supreme Court Opinion opens up the question, how many previous Supreme Court Justices have included similar consumer information in their written opinions? If it is possible that similar information exists in earlier Supreme Court decisions, this is worth some research.
