DeSantis wants to ban ‘fake meat.’ The world is watching.
Tampa Bay Times ^ | February 10, 2024 | Kirby Wilson

The Florida Legislature got an unlikely shout-out earlier this month.

China Weekly, a Chinese language publication, mentioned a Florida bill that would ban the sale and manufacturing of cultivated meat, also sometimes referred to as lab-grown meat.

If the bill passes, Florida would be the first state to ban the sale of cultivated meat. The industry worries Florida’s action could cause other states to follow suit. A lawmaker in Alabama has proposed a similar ban, and bills in New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Iowa would impose other restrictions on these products.

The writer talks about DeSantis in the article as though the governor was still campaigning for the nomination. What's that all about?

It should never, never be labeled or even referred to as meat at all.

Should we just go around banning everything? This is just setting a precedence to ban actual meet, or whatever else.

I’d rather they work on banning fake conservatives.

Governor DeSantis wants to ban fake Chinese frankenmeat from Florida. That's what the article is about.

I don’t think it should be banned. But it should not be able to use the word meat, or be displayed with meat.

Do you have a problem with a governor banning fake Chinese frankenmeat from the state he governs?

I don’t think it should be banned, but it should be labelled accurately for what it really is.

I thought this was banning domestic lab meat? I thought this could lead to the importing of more Chinese factory meat?

Why would I want chew fake meat with my false teeth on my fake china on my laminate dinner table (faux wood) on this fake black history month?

*Cultivated* makes it sound like it’s grown naturally.

*lab grown meat* tells people what it really is.

So no more Synthetic Processed Artificial Meat (SPAM).

Pizza Hut will now have to serve real sausage and pepperoni instead of textured vegetable protein.

Lab grown meat is primarily from a human cancer cell line. You’re eating mostly human cancer cells.

He doesn’t want Floridians to be eating tumors cultivated to be passed off as meat.

Remember when the Left railed against Frankenfoods?

This is as “Frankenfood” as it gets.

Spam is for real...and the hunters and fisherman's friend. It was road food...comes in a can...lasts forever.

It's the "parts" part of the label that I don't understand.
