      There’s a lot of money behind lab grown meat and they’ll fight him both in court and by donating to his political rivals.

      >if you want to eat meat without killing an animal

      So are stone crab claws also banned in this bill? I could have sworn that was big business in Florida.

      >worst alternative of all and become vegan

      Good to see him taking a strong stand against the diet God originally intended people to eat in Genesis 1:29.

      Well everyone knows lab grown meat is a danger to society, and a threat to the social order. I’m so glad someone somewhere is taking governance seriously in this country. /s

      What’s the exact wording of the ban? And what legal authority does a state government have to ban a particular food anyway? Do they have unilateral authority to ban any food just because?

      You want to enjoy something without causing harm to a living creature? You get the fuck out of this state this is the land of what I say and the home of the psychopath

      The free state of Florida. This Trump wannabe comes out a least once a week banning something. So, glad his political future is dead.

      Meatball Ron wanted to make sure he didn’t get cloned. 

    8. So strange, so called republican using government to suppress business rights over their own opinion. Oh wait, that’s the new normal, nevermind….

      What is his actual problem with lab grown meat? I really don’t get this stance other than “It’s a way to own those woke libs” by taking away an ethically sourced food product.

      Isn’t it thousands of dollars a pound still and not even a thing commercially yet anyway?

    11. This is hardly the stupidest thing he’s done the last few days. He basically banned the state from addressing climate change. In the state that will probably be one of the most severely affected.

      While there definitely may be some unforseen danger to eating meat that was made from a petri dish, it’s hard to support anyone that whines about someone voluntarily choosing to be vegan.

    13. Always makes a bill signing seem so legitimate when the signer uses emojis.

    14. It’s like, take the stupidest ideas and republicans do it. In fact, Floridians are suffering from things the IRA – Inflation Reduction Act would have helped with except Rhonda Santis blocked them. lol. He’s lucky he can’t run for reelection.

      “If you want meat without killing an animal”

      Who in their right mind wouldn’t? It eliminates so many *costly* steps.

      You’d think a “republican” would understand this… 

      (What they’re pissed off about is lab grown meat would eliminate the need for factory farming, truck drivers(bull and hog haulers, not calling you out, *guess I am*), … regular freight drivers for the feed and such, **slaughter houses**, sanitation companies, and butchers. Among others, of course. All areas they’re **HEAVILY** invested in.) 

      Seems *weird*…

      Now that it’s cool with Republicans to shoot puppies, a mandatory puppy meat consumption requirement is probably next.

      Lab grown meat would help decrease meat prices and make it more affordable after the pandemic and supply chain disruptions massively raised them, it would lessen the harm carried out by the horrifying factory farming industry by giving people more choices to avoid torturing animals and making them live in horrific conditions, and it would massively decrease environmental damages caused by factory farming. It just seems like Meatball Ron is in the hands of big agro and against family farms who keep getting bought out by them and forced to compete to survive by using unethical practices.

      Pretty sure that is a clear violation of the interstate commerce clause.

      It’s not growing meat, it’s a fungi that is a meat alternative

    20. The party of small government and free capitalist enterprise people. DeSantis’ ass has been bought and sold by the meat lobby and he’s not even trying to hide it.

      I actually agree with the old meatball on this one, literally nothing else but, maybe everyone has at least one thing they can agree with someone else on.
