You could also call this:

"Talking about new food rules before they become law"

Illustration for Food Act 2014

If you talk to people about something that needs to be discussed under the Food Act 2014 before it becomes a law, it counts as proper discussion. This is true even if you have the conversation before the law is officially approved or on the day it starts. You can even discuss proposed rules under the Food Act 2014 and it will still be considered proper discussion for the purposes of the law.
