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

[MarcATL]

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

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

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.

It's like cloning a T-bone steak.

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

Works for me.

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.

It's proof that the crazy TDS TikTok educated left is incapable of determining sound responsible governance and is sadly, a victim of China based propaganda.

I thought they learned their lesson concerning minding their own business?

I guess not.

That's for sure...

It is a matter of health concern, and quite rightly.

Hell, Mr. Mosquito Man, Bill Gates, is into fake meat production. That right there should serve as a warning to all.

The state is a comprehensive disaster the consequence of Republican incompetence and contempt for sound, responsible governance.

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

Better for the planet

Consuming more plant-based meals benefits more than student health—it can also protect children from a changing climate and contribute to a more sustainable future. Using animals for food is a leading contributor to climate change, pollution, deforestation, and other environmental concerns.

The city estimates that its food purchases produce as much carbon as the exhaust from 70,000 gas-fueled cars.
