You're right about that. The same thing happened with the name "organic". Sadly, some restaurateurs have been taking advantage of the "farm-to-table" terminology. In France and Italy some foods and wines have AOC/DOC designations meaning that the food item's name means was produced in a geographically defined place, usually with traditional methods and NOT from some random factory in another country. There are penalties in place for people that attempt to label a product with a controlled name. "Farm-to-table" has a different definition than AOC/DOC, but there's a lot in common in spirit.
