Looks like Alabama and Florida are banning lab grown meat. https://gizadeathstar.com/2024/05/alabam...-meat-ban/
Quote:I also strongly suspect that the real goal of laboratory-cultured "meat" has been, from the beginning, about achieving several goals: (1) driving traditional livestock farmers and ranchers out of business, (2) gaining thereby a concentrated food supply in relatively few corporate hands that manufacture "meat-like products", and (3) using the latter like GMO crops as a means of remaking or engineering the human biosphere and body itself. It is thus, on my view, decidedly not about "freedom" or "the environment." To that end I suspect that somewhere along the line we should expect subsidization of meat-growing laboratories to make their products "cheaper" than the standard livestock meat products in order to drive the latter out of business. Interestingly, as the article itself admits, the University of California-Davis questions the whole environment-friendliness of laboratory-cultured meat.
