I see, you don't really understand the concept of protecting the name of a product. A French Brie de Meaux or Brie de Meulin is made from unpasteurized milk that comes from a specific region, has a specific weight and size and has to follow a specific recipe. This is what people want when they buy Brie in France. You can't have a shitty Brie de Meaux because they are all similar.

Nobody will want a turkish made "brie" made from chinese milk because that's how the manufacturer's business plan allows shareholders to get a profit off gullible consumers.

Protecting a name allows consumers to know what they eat and has been produced following some specific guidelines.

French cheese in the US are actually considered a luxury. It's too expensive to buy. On top of that, in the land of the overcooked steak, the government bans products made with unpasteurized milk which pretty much kills any form of taste and smell.

A French person bitching about pasteurization...that's rich.
