Lawmakers in Florida have passed a bill banning lab-grown meat, with Senator Jay Collins expressing concerns about safety. The legislation also includes provisions on teaching communism's history in schools and restricting teacher training on identity politics. Governor Ron DeSantis has been criticized for his role in dismantling diversity and inclusion efforts in public schools, leading to accusations of waging war on Black America. The NAACP is now getting involved in the 'woke war' in sports in Florida, raising concerns about unintended consequences. The ban on lab-grown meat in Florida has sparked debates on protecting the beef lobby, consumers, and the broader culture war fears, with some attributing it to anti-meat rhetoric and the influence of big factory farm lobbies.
