Story
Florida, Led by DeSantis, First to Ban Lab-Grown Meat, Sparking National Debate
May 8, 2024, 04:15 PM
Florida has become the first U.S. state to implement a ban on lab-grown meat, a move supported by Governor Ron DeSantis and driven by opposition from right-wing culture warriors, the agriculture lobby, and certain politicians. Critics argue that the ban contradicts conservative principles of free enterprise and is seen as a politicized move amidst a broader culture war, often referred to as synthetic conservatism. Supporters argue it protects traditional agricultural practices and public health. The debate over the commercial viability of cultivated meat extends beyond Florida, with other states considering similar bans and discussions starting in Canada as part of a federal public review.
