MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin is throwing the state's support behind a Montpelier folk artist who has built his T-shirt business around the phrase "eat more kale" and is engaged in a trademark fight with the nation's second largest chicken restaurant chain.
Shumlin said Monday, after a meeting with business owner Bo Muller-Moore, the effort called "Team Kale," is to send Chick-fil-A a message: "Don't mess with Vermont."
Muller-Moore uses his phrase "eat more kale" on T-shirts and other items, but Chick-fil-A has ordered him to stop because it has the trademark to the phrase "eat mor chikin."
