Supporters include environmentalists who say it would reduce animal cruelty and potentially help slow climate change. Meat and dairy together account for about 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the United Nations.
Even if I knew nothing else about it just knowing that the Florida legislature is against it makes me for it.
Conservatives: “Let the free market decide!”
Also conservatives: “Not like that.”
The sound of it? I would assume it’s silent. /s
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Opponents of lab-grown meat include beef and poultry associations worried that laboratory-made hamburgers or chicken nuggets could cut into their business.
Cattle and poultry associations are listed as chief supporters of restrictions, although some meat companies have also partnered with cultivated-meat firms to help meet global demand for protein.
Justin Kolbeck, chief executive of San Francisco-based Wildtype, which is working on lab-grown salmon, has traveled to Tallahassee, the Florida state capital, repeatedly to discuss the bill with lawmakers.
In Florida, opponents of the ban have seized on a recent report on Chinese state-owned media in which government officials cited the state’s proposed restrictions as something that would benefit China.
State Representative Lyndsay Cross, a Democrat, opposes the restriction, calling it “anti free market” and adding, “If consumers want this product, they’ll have to look at other countries including China.”
A recent amendment to the Florida measure would allow research on cultivated meat to be carried out within state boundaries, an attempt to allay concerns about hurting the space industry.

which environmentalists support lab meat? Just eat plants ffs
I do. Not for myself, but we all know that there are many people who would never give up meat. So for them.
No way. Its a generational issue. Make schools meat free and apply a 200% tax on things that are causing the climate catastrophe (at least including carbon & meat), and in 2 generations you’ll see most people gave up meat.
There’s nothing to miss, people just need to experience it for some years. When people realize the bean burger is just as good and 20x cheaper than the cow burger, they’ll order it every time
Sounds solid. Now come up with a way to implement this without causing riots.
Black bean burgers are fucking delicious
Yea, I’m going to have to go with a big fuck you on this one
Well, unlike you some of us don’t have taste buds attuned to rabbits
Case and point. If this person was fed delicious plant-baeed foods for 12 years in school, they wouldn’t make such absurd statements
Its a generational issue that will be solved by increasing the costs of meat and removing meat from school cafeterias
Poor, you, mind your own business, and we can mind our own, and nobody can make laws about what other people can eat
3 steaks at our local discount grocery store cost over $50 this week. Lab grown is welcome
I find that seasoning my food makes it taste amazing.
Try it sometime.
I’m vegan for a few years now and will try this at my first opportunity.
The general public doesn’t give a flying fuck about animal suffering but maybe the same product without the suffering would be good enough to cause a switch.
Especially if it makes it cheaper and taste the same and gets the same nutrients and shit. I’ll do it. But until then, I’m a meat eating, steak lover and that won’t change
