Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has enacted a ban on lab-grown meat, sparking a significant debate across various states and among different groups. This legislative move aligns with actions in other Southern Red states that are also moving to prohibit lab-grown meat, which some critics, including John Fetterman, have derided as 'fake meat' or 'slop.' The ban has been criticized by some as unscientific and contrary to American values of freedom of choice. Concurrently, Florida has also seen the implementation of a strict abortion law, known as the Heartbeat Protection Act, which prohibits abortions past six weeks and has now taken effect. This law has led to increased activity among clinics in neighboring states to accommodate women from Florida seeking abortions.
Many Florida women now can't get abortions past six weeks. Where else can they go? When the state enacted its strict abortion ban last week, clinics in several other Southern and mid-Atlantic states sprang into action. https://t.co/wuYr7rM6Ba

Lab-grown meat (a technology still in development) was suspected of being woke due to its association with the concept of animal ethics. Better ban it preemptively. https://t.co/iZ5t6QoTAg
The lab-grown meat ban is an embarrassing piece of legislation. Society's perspective on stuff like this should be similar to Voltaire: "I disapprove of what you want to eat, but I will defend to the death your right to eat it." liberty > nanny state https://t.co/VJscX0gVIx

Of course this is ridiculous but lab grown meat is a huge threat to factory farming. The moment lab grown meat is on par on taste and price the moral arguments against factory farming will explode and quickly take the day. https://t.co/mneIt9IyS6

The Florida lab meat ban shows that a lot of people instinctively chicken out when it comes to new technology, but I have a hard time thinking there's that much at steak in the debate.
for people wondering how the florida lab grown meat ban happened: the dairy industry never took alt milk seriously, and was decimated by the trend to flavored sugar water (no offense). this has made big meat anxious as hell, and the lobby is well represented. more bans coming.
A year ago, I thought @RonDeSantis was impressive enough that I hoped for a Presidential race between him and Gavin Newsom to decide America's will. (Oh well.) Lately, De Santis has veered into needlessly contentious and distracting culture wars. His banning of lab meat recalls…
