DeSantis signs ban on lab-grown meat in Florida, says elites are pushing it
Take your fake, lab-grown meat elsewhere, governor says
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation Wednesday banning cultivated or lab-grown meat in Florida, placing it within a conspiracy by global elites to destroy agriculture in the interests of fighting climate change.
The bill (SB 1084) contains a number of programs for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, including provisions allowing members of 4-H and Future Farmers of America (FFA) to get excused absences from schools to attend events.
It also makes it unlawful for any person to manufacture for sale, sell, hold or offer for sale, or distribute cultivated meat in this state, punishable by up to 60 days in jail. Food establishments that sell or serve the stuff are also subject to penalties including loss of commercial licenses.
The law defines cultured meat as any meat or food product produced from cultured animal cells. The USDA began authorizing its sale in the United States last June.
DeSantis waxed indignant about the prospect.
They want to basically eliminate meat, they want to eliminate cattle, they want to eliminate chickens, all this stuff, and they want to create protein in laboratories. So, its essentially lab-created meat. And their goal is to get to a point where you will not be raising cattle, you will not be developing meat like weve being doing for hundreds and hundreds of years in the state of Florida, he said.
