Today, Florida is fighting back against the global elites plan to force the world to eat meat grown in a petri dish or bugs to achieve their authoritarian goals, DeSantis said in a press release Wednesday. Our administration will continue to focus on investing in our local farmers and ranchers, and we will save our beef.

I thought Republicans were proponents of a free market?

So they just banned the GOP?

Pretty sure most their reps in the statehouse/governors office were lab grown to be as evil as possible.

Government so small, there is only one law!

That law however is that you can't have, do, want, or even think of anything the GOP does not like.

Governor of Florida and former candidate for the Republican presidential nomination is fighting against the global elite?

I guess some voters might be too stupid to notice.

And they probably subscribe to the 'Great Reset: live in pods and eat bugs' debunked conspiracy fuckwittery too.

Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read.

Unfortunately, he knows his supporters are too stupid to do any kind of critical thinking and realize he's full of shit.
I have nothing else to say
on a serious note, is a conservative willing to explain how this is remotely acceptable from your perspective? how is the party that claims to support freedom of choice and the free market okay with the government outright banning a product that has passed all safety inspections, etc. like this?

Yes, lab-grown meat is key to the New World Orders authoritarian goals.

Good thing he's there to keep options open for people. Imagine walking into a restaurant and having to order a good old-fashioned burger while expertly dodging the option for the lab-grown meat, then having to fight off an army of angry liberals as you carry it out to your car. There might even someday be a world where you have to teach your kids to sense the aura that comes from the death of a thinking being when you select your steaks, since they're otherwise physically identical to fake hippie lab meat that will make your dick fall off.

The gave up on that to focus on anti woke nonsense and conspiracy bullshit.

Why? Because there are people who actually hold this kind of belief:

People still say this as some kind of gotcha when Republicans use the government to do anything but the new generation of Republicans are much more populist and willing to utilize the power of the government to achieve the changes they want than the more Regan-era establishment.

So only vegans want there to be lab grown meat?

He openly admits that this is protectionism but still can't stop himself from sprinkling in culture war buzzwords for good measure. He's been crusading against woke bogeymen for so long that the use of such rhetoric is reflexive.

They don't care that they are hypocrites. However we should still point it out.

Some of them believe these products are hiding something in the ingredients or processes and others think it's woke and they will be forced to eat it so they're glad it's banned. But a quick glance tells me a large number of them are not too pleased with this pointless overreach which was, unsurprisingly, lobbied for by agriculture businesses. It's a rare moment.

Not sure how you drew that conclusion? I would say it's more the inverse, that only people who have an extremely narrow viewpoint (or profit off the current model and could not profit from lab-grown meat, but that's a different matter) would not be open to lab-grown meat as an option.

I have not been closely following the development of the technology, but anything that pushes the meat industry towards something with less environmental impact, less harm to animals, and lower costs is a win for me. Turning cattle rearing back into a smaller practice where the health of individual animals can be better maintained and monitored could be a win for health and safety as well, although there is the risk that the lab process would just open itself up to the same sorts of dangerous shortcuts as other industries, or counterfeiting, so it's not without risk (because corporate and individual greed manages to make everything suck).

Which is why I said party establishment. There are still "small government" Republicans sure but when has DeSantis claimed to be one? He's not been shy about using the power of the government to achieve political goals.

Cattle and chickens would still be killed because they would wind up like deer and need to be culled. They are both too domesticated to survive on their own.

That's incredibly silly. I'm not surprised that Republicans seem to be okay with this, though. They'll accept anything with the right spin. They see lab grown meat as "liberal stuff" so they're somehow going to justify it in their mind as being the right move.

Even though it directly goes against the free market and personal choice, two things they claim to be in favor of. It's pretty cringe tbh

Okay? I'm not sure what your point is. Simply reducing the rate of breeding is sufficient to achieve a lower population in the long run.

As a conservative and someone against animal suffering, I'm pissed off at Ron DeSantis.

Can they do this? If the fda approves of it, then it's federally legal.

This is no different than the mifepristone case.

Republicans need to taste the suffering and death in the food they eat, otherwise what's even the point?

I see why ranchers and farmers would like less competition on the market, but this is just bad for consumers all around provided that the lab food is safe to eat. I dont see how the people of Florida benefit
You can have results or excuses.
Not both.
Imagine being a fucking governor and unironically saying that the Deep State is coming after your cows.

The hilarious part is that agricultural business does pretty gross things itself.

Look up "meat glue."

Transglutaminase. Used, as a natural enzyme in humans, to hold meat products together. It's not actually glue, which is a liquid plastic.

How exactly is the gross?

Are you saying the Saudi's are the antithesis to the former? Pretty sure SA is politically neutral, but least likely to support a globalist manifesto. Plus, they have vested interests in oil, cause that's what they do.

Here's the problem: How is the majority share in one state equivalent to the entire country?
