We're on the verge of being able to mass produce meat that has been grown in a lab from animal cells, with no animal having to suffer and be slaughtered to produce it. A potential revolution in nutrition and land use and ethics and energy consumption. So of course Ron DeSantis outlaws it.
whenever considering a course of action, it's useful to think "what would ron desantis do" and then do the exact opposite of that (because he's a heap of walking human waste)
I flirt with becoming vegan. I like chicken and fish, and beef maybe twice a month, but what happens to the animals is so repulsive it pushes me away. A clean conscience would be nice but for RepubliQans, as we all know by now, the cruelty is the point.
So ready for this. I'm tired of people assuming everyone else is as turned off by it as they, individually, are
Could reduce prep time by a lot, I've always hated the cruelty aspect, and I get easily squicked by connective tissue and fat and veins and such
i forget who suggested (might have been david roberts) that as much as the big oil/gas industry has stunted U.S. policy on clean energy, it might pale in comparison to the weight the big agro/livestock industry is going to throw around to resist change.
This little fascist pulls this kind of shit out of his ass and then says "Florida" doesn't want it. Florida doesn't care one way or another. He's just sucking up to his ag buddies.
"Lab-grown" is a rather unfortunate term. Artificial would be more fitting, perhaps. Or synthetic.
I don't think it's actually going to replace a huge chunk of demand for a very long time, but of course banning it is wrong and stupid and as always, hypocritical on any notion of limited government.
yeahhhh........ no.
while I respect the choices of vegetarians/vegans, don't take away MY choices.
Humans evolved as omnivores - meaning we eat everything.
This is such a stupid fucking quote. I suddenly remember how much I hate DeSantis
"Today, Florida is fighting back against the global elite’s plan to force the world to eat meat grown in a petri dish or bugs to achieve their authoritarian goals."
