Alabama has become the second U.S. state to ban lab-grown meat, following Florida. Governor Kay Ivey signed legislation, SB231, on Friday that prohibits the manufacture, sale, or distribution of lab-grown meat in the state. The decision aims to protect traditional cattle farming. The Alabama Cattlemen's Association expressed support for the ban, while critics, including the Alabama AFL-CIO President Bren Riley, argue that the move represents a 'sad and sinister attack on the rights of working people' by politicians influenced by special interest groups. The bans in Alabama and Florida have sparked a debate within the livestock industry about the precedent of states deciding what food products can be sold.
Florida and Alabama now have banned lab-grown meat. I don't think a ban is needed. I think this product would have failed in the market on it's own. Nobody is seeking this type of artificial food product. What do you think? Ban it? or let it fail naturally in the market? https://t.co/bC2CZhWFjI
