Ron DeSantis bans 'global elite' lab-grown meat
Florida's governor says he will "save our beef, but a lab-grown meat firm calls it an assault on liberty.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has banned lab-grown meat, saying he will "save our beef" from the "global elite" and its "authoritarian plans".
"Florida is fighting back against the global elite's plan to force the world to eat meat grown in a petri dish or bugs," Mr DeSantis said in a statement.
The first-in-the-nation law prohibits anyone from selling or distributing lab-grown meat in Florida.
Similar efforts are under way in Alabama, Arizona and Tennessee.
Lab-grown or "cultivated" meat was first cleared for consumption in the US in 2022.
The process of making cultivated meat involves extracting cells from an animal, which are then fed with nutrients such as proteins, sugars and fats. The end product is genetically indistinguishable from traditionally produced meat.
Studies have suggested that eating cultivated meat can cut carbon emissions and water usage, and free up land for nature, compared to eating traditionally produced meat.
You're viewing a single thread.
Do his supporters really believe hes an “every man” like them, and not literally one of the “global elite”?
They like him because he hates the right people.
He also antagonises the right people.
This law is designed specifically to upset the wokerati.
His supporters love hierarchy. All they want is white supremacist hierarchy. If they are in a middle tier and the bottom tiers are suffering that is their ideal society.
What? Its nothing to do with banning meat - its the message and reason as to why its being banned.
“Ban lab meat because the global elite!” vs “Ban lab meat to support farmers”.
It's the same line of reasoning with different excuses; I don't like it so no one should have it.
My comment was literally only calling out his “global elite” remark. Thats it.
Libs are fine with the same outcomes as long as you use the right words. It's wild.
You're telling me that motivation matters? Wild.
No that's the opposite of what I am saying. Material impact is what matters, I don't give a fuck what words are said.
This is bad policy.
