Gov. DeSantis Enacts Florida Ban on Lab-Grown Meat, Ignites Innovation Backlash
May 5, 2024, 12:27 PM
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has recently enacted a controversial law banning the distribution, sale, and manufacture of lab-grown meat in the state. This decision has sparked a significant backlash from various stakeholders, including lab-grown meat companies and advocates of technological innovation. Critics argue that the ban contradicts Republican values of free market and innovation, and represents a step back in technological progress. The ban has been described as reactionary, with accusations that it caters to the interests of traditional meat industries worried about the competitive threat posed by lab-grown meat. Additionally, there are concerns about the implications of this ban on personal freedoms and the state's reputation as a hub for technological advancement. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., has co-signed the law, while Didier Toubia, CEO of AlephFarms, criticized the decision as a violation of personal liberty.
