    Opposition to lab grown meat is surprisingly popular. Normies get really creeped out about it unfortunately.

        Yeah I’m all about consent for what you consume but I would love to feed some people an impossible burger or a vegan “chicken” sandwich and see if they could really tell the difference.

    Looks like anything that would be an improvement for people and humanity in general is severely frowned upon in some places.

    How did they define lab because that could result in a hilarious ban of commercial farms.

    Lab-grown meat killed my mom…true story, lab-grown meat broke into her house and stabbed her 957 times with a fork.

    Why are Republicans always wrong about literally everything? Oh, that’s right. Faith-based belief system instead of a reality-based belief system.

      Protecting their ridiculous regressive views of how the west was won exploited via cattle and oil. They all want to protect their landowners that control huge chunks of farm and grazing land, and a significant chunk of that land is used to feed cattle. Get rid of the need to feed and raise cattle and Big Donors might be upset.

    I only want my meat to be raised by a cow on a feedlot while covered in manure and constantly smelling so awful, I would gag if I ever went. Then I want that cow’s greatest mental stimulation to be the one time he climbed on top of the 1 meter pile of manure and could see further than any other cow, and then proceed to stick his head back into the giant trough of corn that’s been pre-mixed with antibiotics because corn is not a natural food source for cows. That’s what meat is supposed to be, as god intended.

      Let’s drink swill milk [Wikipedia] to that.

      The swill milk scandal was a major adulterated food scandal in the state of New York in the 1850s. The New York Times reported an estimate that in one year, 8,000 infants died from swill milk.

      Swill milk referred to milk from cows fed swill which was residual mash from nearby distilleries. The milk was whitened with plaster of Paris, thickened with starch and eggs, and hued with molasses.

      Swill milk dairies were noted for their filthy conditions and overpowering stench both caused by the close confinement of hundreds (sometimes thousands) of cows in narrow stalls where, once farmers tied them, they would stay for the rest of their lives, often standing in their own manure, covered with flies and sores, and suffering from a range of virulent diseases. These cows were fed boiling distillery waste, often leaving the cows with rotting teeth and other maladies. The milk drawn from the cows was routinely adulterated with water, rotten eggs, flour, burnt sugar, and other adulterants with the finished product then marketed falsely as “pure country milk” or “Orange County Milk”.

        Thank goodness we’re firing all those wasteful government bureaucrats, who were adding red tape and keeping businesses from innovating. Soon things will be great again, like in the 1850…

      Just an FYI: In Florida (at least) a similar bill was passed not because of any concerns about lab-grown meat but because loads and loads of rich people keep small amounts of cattle on their property which gives them massive property tax breaks (money that most of these counties desperately need). There’s literally over a million cows living like cow kings in Florida.

      I get what you’re saying about factory farms but I just wanted to point out the truth: While those conditions are common for other farm animals I’m not aware of it being that common for cows (in the US) 🤷

      As far as I know the factory farms that are like that are all related to poultry and swine (the people that run them).
