It’s not yet available for consumers, but if it is eventually commercially viable (no need to kill animals, better for the environment), you won’t be able to buy it in Florida. DeSantis pushed and passed a law to make it illegal to buy lab-grown meat.
This is typical Republican behavior. Favor free enterprise and limited government, but then decide you will tell people what they can eat. I’m surprised they haven’t gone after plant-based milk. About 15% of “milk” sold in the U.S. is now plant-based.
My take on this is that if people want to drink plant-based milk and eat lab-grown meat, it is their choice. But I’m a guy who believes in free enterprise and resents big government making my food choices.
Two sarcastic comments: perhaps DeSantis is concerned that lab-grown meat won't have the proper RDA of fecal matter in it. And while I have recently tried and liked oat "milk', doesn't milk come from mammary glands?
ReplyDeleteThat's the argument of the dairy lobby. Is soy "milk" really milk?
