The “conservative” war on reality finds new depths to sink to
It is disgusting what people do to protect their profits.
Ah yes, because as we all know money can only ever come from long-running, well established companies and never new ideas with merit.
These same states also banned the sales of cars unless the carmaker has an authorized dealership in the state. Phew, saved the middlemen.
This is why Tesla has little shops in the mall with a single car in them if you ever wondered.
As a Texas resident, I’m well aware.
Okay ban real meat too then.
But that harms the environment! Republicans only fight against things that help.
What’s the point of capitalism without competition? Hypocrites
The entire point of capitalism (for the capitalists) is to be the last person standing, and have the market all to themselves.
To believe otherwise is delusion.

State legislators from Florida to Arizona are seeking to ban meat grown from animal cells in labs, citing a “war on our ranching” and a need to protect the agriculture industry from efforts to reduce the consumption of animal protein, thereby reducing the high volume of climate-warming methane emissions the sector emits.
The same reason that they hate solar energy and other alternatives to oil. It’s a “war” on oil sector profits. The environment be damned.
life begins at polymerization! /s
So cheaper and cleaner meat for my state. Score.
Crawford said that legislators had heard from NASA, which expressed concern about the bill’s impact on programs to develop alternative proteins for astronauts. An amendment to the bill will address that problem, Crawford said, allowing an exemption for research purposes.
Opponents of the ban have said governments shouldn’t interfere with a nascent industry because of unfounded fears over safety concerns.
The carve-out for NASA doesn’t make this bill any better. The bill is obviously stifling.
That said, I really do want some extra checks that whatever agar-like substrate meat is grown in does not leech excessive quantities of hormones (think: rBST) or other chemicals into the packaged product. I would happily eat lab-grown meat, but I want to know that it is well tested for safety.
I’ll bet you can’t guess which ones!
Honestly, couldn’t CARE less. Autocorrect took a stand there…
Is lab grown meat more efficient? Not really. Is it cheaper? Not even close. Is it more ethical? Maybe?
Embrace the bean. Have a steak now and again… Make it an event.
Bean is protein. Bean is life.
I want my beans
