Governor DeSantis signs bill banning lab-grown meat in Florida

Governor Ron DeSantis speaks from Wauchula on Wednesday with Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Wilton Simpson.
He is expected to sign a bill banning lab-grown meat in Florida.

The idea of fake meat is so gross!

It’s also poisonous ☠️ on purpose

[@fartexplosion4480]

All meat is fake. Even boutique butchers pump their livestock with all kinds of weird hormones so they can extract the most amount of muscle fiber per cow/pig/sheep/bluehair/whatever

[@seriessplayer62747]

What’s the issue? Does he have any factual evidence to back this claim up or is it just speculation. If you have no interest in it, then don’t buy it. No ones forcing people to buy it, it’s consumer choice. So as long as it’s safe, it shouldn’t be legally allowed to be banned. Crony capitalism at it’s best

DeSantis what about you taking action against the Insurance Companies that are making your constituents life miserably.

[@Gww-1]

DeSantis got 5 more Insurance companies to do business here. There has been a monopoly by insurance companies here but he's trying to create competition to bring rates down. This is America and we have a free market for businesses so he can only do so much.

[@Maddog2020RH]

Get over it. FL is the most beautiful state in the country but it has to deal with hurricanes which cause destruction which in turn causes higher insurance rates and dropping of coverage. What is it that you want him to do? Are you looking for price controls like they have in Russia?

[@jaronloar1762]

Agreed, he is banning the free market and scientific progress which could help reduce the suffering of millions of animals worldwide in favor of unfounded fears of "fake meat" so he can appease the donors from the agriculture department who line his pockets. Putting a ban on scientific research and progress is disgusting. This is the equivalent of banning light bulbs to protect the candle industry.
