Florida Is on Its Way to Banning -- and Criminalizing -- Alternative Meat

[JusticeHammer]

Funny it's authoritarian when a Republican does things like this but a commie Dem does it and it's all good.

Why should this be made illegal? What is the societal harm that makes legislation banning cell-cultivated meat a good idea?

Shouldn't this be a free-market sort of decision, rather than a government one? If people want it, let them pay for it. If they don't, the industry won't take hold. Why does the government need to step in and ban it?

Fuck fake meat!

Do you think this is authoritarian or not?

Florida is creating a market for python meat after pythons have become a prolific introduced species. Do lefties have a problem with that concept?

Nope.

Don’t eat it then. Simple.

Can’t see the point in criminalizing it unless it is to throw a chunk of red (real) meat to the Base.

Today, there are more than 886 thousand head of cattle and 15,000 beef producers throughout Florida.

The 20 million meat eaters in Florida probably appreciate the bill as well.

Authoritarian Governor DeSantis is not content w/just banning it, which is bad enough, he wants to criminalize it.

Florida legislators have been quietly working to ban and criminalize the production and sale of cell-cultivated meat across the state, via the introduction of two bills.

Everybody's cool w/this?

I’m good with it. It’s not meat. You can’t call it meat, you can’t sell it as meat. It’s not fucking meat.

Alcohol is a health concern. Banning it didn't work.

Completely different issue. People enjoy alcohol, 90% of them in moderation. No one wants or needs fake meat.

Mr. Mosquito, Bill Gates, is bigly into fake meat, so I think that should be a clue to all.

You mean you don't want it.

And since you don't you don't want anyone else to have it either.

That's what we call fascism.

What the hell is "cell cultivated meat"? Is it human?

Who knows... ..maybe you should ask the Haitians.

This is further proof that Republicans are incapable of sound, responsible governance.

Florida has among the worst public education systems in the country, facing a teacher shortage with teachers leaving the state; Florida has a homeowners’ insurance crisis where residents are paying crippling insurance premiums or are unable to afford insurance at all; and Florida is threated by the consequence of human-caused climate change with more powerful and destructive storms, loss of coral reefs, and land erosion.

Yet given these issues and more, ‘fake meat’ is the ridiculous nonsense Republicans waste time on.

And oddly people keep moving there. In droves.. it’s one of the fastest growing states in the country.

I have no problem with requiring labels. I'd like to know what I'm buying.
