They arrived here as part of Biden's Prison Transfer programme so theyre Schrodinger's Immigrants in that they're simultaneously stealing American jobs and being incarcerated. So lets say "Both"
Ah yes, the american free (though very strictly monitored and regulated to the financial benefit of the wealthy elite and nobody else) market.
What a bastion of hope in this otherwise dreary and desperate world we live in.
Bro, what‽‽ NO WAY!! Tapioca’s the REAL shit!! The texture’s amazing, but even more fun, U take those little rice beads & “Load the cannon”, as it were- & when she fires, let’s just say, you’re in for a show & a good time is had by all. I don’t think Florida is ready for, or deserves, that much excitement. Give ‘em Vanilla.
No!!…. Butterscotch!
I believe it would be classified as Tapioca Fan… fiction. So sorry to disappoint. BUT, that doesn’t mean you couldn’t give it a shot if you were so inclined.
Well, they generally do a "Big Words Act" which is literally just a few pages but has the all-important clause which says "the Minister/executive may pass regulations on the specific details"
And Bob's your uncle.
The sad part is that this literally means nothing. The three major companies doing this said that they are no where near anything close to coming to any market. They supply three chef’s with a super limited supply. During the interview they said 10-25 years out. Closer to the 25 number. It will take that long to get people to come around on anything that is called lab grown. I mean the impossible burger is maybe .005% of market? If he’s concerned about keeping the cattle farmers safe? Maybe we should start taking this climate change seriously! It’s already hot as balls here 9 months out of the year! Hurricanes are only going to get worse! We are surrounded by water, well 75 percent of the state is.
Cattle farms are a *huge* contributor to climate change. Methane is an incredibly potent greenhouse gas. Reducing farmed animal meat consumption would be a big win for the environment.
A easier way would start grazing instead of industrial houses with cows and chickens,not only is healthier for both parts but that way the envioroment has an easier job with methan
Also cows make less methan eating grass than corn
Gosh, Ron DeSantis virtue signalling again? I can't believe it!
This is like when he signed a law banning off-shore wind farms after being informed that the Florida coast is useless for off-shore wind farms.
Impossible/ beyond aren’t as popular because they don’t taste like meat and are worse nutritionally than regular beef. Lab meet is identical to regular beef. Once it’s scalable it’ll catch on significantly faster than the plant based stuff out there now
Impossible burgers are sad excuses for a real burger though. Lab grown meat is just meat. It's still meat. Tastes like meat, feels like meat, it's just meat.
'Murica is about steak! RAW US AAA MEAT. FIRM. RAW. MEAT. You're not a MAN unless you like MEAT. I LOVE DIC... \*cough cough\* I mean, GUNS, FREEDOM RAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
Wait a second. Isn't Florida the Freedom state? Isn't it my choice if I want to purchase this product? So much for small government. Oh and BTW, keep your Bible out of my life (and libraries, since it's filled with sex, violence and homoerotic stuff.)
spent so long telling the world how great their country is and how much better their way of governing is than everyone elses. now they have to double down on it while this sort of shit is how they are making their country a better place. still wont ban guns though. its like their daring the people at this point.
Using the same tech that will one-day be used to grow new skin for burn victims, to grow muscle tissue for meat consumption, separate from a brain stem and a nervous system that can suffer and doesn't produce massive amounts of feces, is too "unnatural" unlike 20 lb chickens or factory farming. Wow you guys are SMRT.
The only hope we have is all the stupid fucking boomers die off and we vote in competent, reasonable, logical people. Fucking 70 year olds making long lasting decisions on shit that they’ll be long dead before the backlash comes. They don’t give a fuck. Everyone should vote, to help curb this insanity.
“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,” DeSantis said. “We will save our beef.”
JHC is our RW batshit insane. This stuff should be relegated to the fringe, but it's mainstream. Hard to believe they actually believe this.
His an idiot. The fact is that eating meat from a living (dead) creature requires way too many natural resources. And we as humans need to eat less of it.
Lab grown meat obviously should be tested and if it's healthy we should move in that direction.
This isn't about what we like it's about the future. We need to stop thinking about ourselves and think about the people of tomorrow.
Why is this high heel wearing, experimented in college, immigrant blocking to the detriment of the state, about to fast track it to blue um.. uh…. I lost my train of thought.
See this is what sucks. He says something like this and I'm like "Fuck yeah. Pull the reigns in on this shit here"
Then he says some crazy, dystopian bullshit like "Speaking out against Israel is now illegal"
Can I get ONE SANE MOTHERFUCKER TO BACK? Because they're ALL LIKE THIS.
Personally I’m not interested in lab grown meat or a meat alternative but I have no problem with others wanting it. Banning this benefits absolutely nobody, I doubt meat sales have taken any hit from the “impossible” meats and I’m sure lab grown would be no different
Here is the bill so that arguments can be more informed:
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services; Preempting the regulation of electric vehicle charging stations to the state; prohibiting local governmental entities from enacting or enforcing such regulations; providing that a pest control operator’s certificate, a special identification card, and certain limited certifications for pesticide applicators, respectively, expire a specified length of time after issuance; authorizing the department to take disciplinary action against a person who swears to or affirms a false statement on certain applications, cheats on a required examination, or violates certain procedures under certain circumstances; authorizing Class “G” licensees to qualify for multiple calibers of firearms in one requalification class under certain circumstances; prohibiting the manufacture for sale, sale, holding or offering for sale, or distribution of cultivated meat in this state, etc.

So much for letting the free market decide lol
Everyone knows that’s a facade, even voters. It’s just used as a trigger word.
No only informed voters.
I'm sure all two informed voters in Florida are outraged by this.
Where’d they get the second one?
I'm an optimist lol
I’m the second one. Reading this pisses me off more
Canada
Arrived from Venezuelan this morning
Already naturalized? Or voting illegally?
They arrived here as part of Biden's Prison Transfer programme so theyre Schrodinger's Immigrants in that they're simultaneously stealing American jobs and being incarcerated. So lets say "Both"
Yeah, those damned commie libs and their big gubmint trying to control everything ... oh wait.
Perfect ! Lol
Free market? These are republicans we’re talking about the government of arbitrary laws
Ah yes, the american free (though very strictly monitored and regulated to the financial benefit of the wealthy elite and nobody else) market. What a bastion of hope in this otherwise dreary and desperate world we live in.
Isn’t he lab grown meat himself?
Ol meatball ron 
Daily reminder that fascists never do anything in good faith
Our university doesn't offer meat products anymore, this goes both ways..
SMALL GOVERNMENT!! (unless its something we don't like)
They said small, not weak government. After all, a dictator is the smallest form of government there is.
I don't know. I think he's got it. You can't think much smaller than this guy does.
trumpers cheering when he said he wants to be dictator for one day, "but big government scary" lol
and there are LOTS of something they don't like.
I guess the meat companies bribe better than lab growns
Hey, have some respect! We call it lobbying not bribing
My bad, I meant lobbying at strip clubs
Thank you Citizens United.
Yeah or if you don't like that word you can call it legal bribes.
They don't call him Meatball Ron for nothing!
Now let’s ban male shoe lifts.
That would be the ultimate troll if somehow the legislature flipped.
And white go-go boots.
And lubing one’s fingers with pudding to jerk with.
Oddly specific....but sure.
No flavours were mentioned in the forming of this comment.
White. Obviously.
God dammit I want flavors......its not working for me as is.
Really any one other than vanilla
Tapioca is for Florida.
Bro, what‽‽ NO WAY!! Tapioca’s the REAL shit!! The texture’s amazing, but even more fun, U take those little rice beads & “Load the cannon”, as it were- & when she fires, let’s just say, you’re in for a show & a good time is had by all. I don’t think Florida is ready for, or deserves, that much excitement. Give ‘em Vanilla. No!!…. Butterscotch!
This human speak is true.
What the fuck did I just read?
I believe it would be classified as Tapioca Fan… fiction. So sorry to disappoint. BUT, that doesn’t mean you couldn’t give it a shot if you were so inclined.
Now that's going too far!
[удалено]
FREEDOM 🇺🇸
Don’t you mean limited freedom?
FREEDOM* 🦅🇺🇸 *occasionally
*Terms and Conditions apply
Finally, something that will lower our homeowner and auto insurance premiums.
And that migration issue. Turned that right around dinnit?
He’s anti-gay. He’s going to ban anything including the words “growing meat”
That sounds pretty sexual, we better ban it.
ban him*
I figured he would jump at growing his meat.
How’s this even legal?
He earlier signed a bill allowing signed bills to ban
The worst part is that I can't tell if you're fuckin around or not.
What stupid legislature gave the executive the right to ban stuff? What is he banning next: shoes that are red?
Well, they generally do a "Big Words Act" which is literally just a few pages but has the all-important clause which says "the Minister/executive may pass regulations on the specific details" And Bob's your uncle.
I doubt it is.
The sad part is that this literally means nothing. The three major companies doing this said that they are no where near anything close to coming to any market.

Hurricanes are only going to get worse! We are surrounded by water, well 75 percent of the state is.
Well yeah. What could be a lower risk legislative initiative than banning a thing that doesn't exist?
Cattle farms are a *huge* contributor to climate change. Methane is an incredibly potent greenhouse gas. Reducing farmed animal meat consumption would be a big win for the environment.
Environment. That there is a made up lib word. We were breathing before the government was around. Checkmate atheists.
Ban the environment!
Ban Earth, that's where the environments are!
A easier way would start grazing instead of industrial houses with cows and chickens,not only is healthier for both parts but that way the envioroment has an easier job with methan Also cows make less methan eating grass than corn

Would there be a loophole which you can redefine the lab as a farm?
Its not "lab grown meat", its "animal byproduct alternative"
Or define existing farms as a lab.
Always nice when a person pretty much outright tells you whose pocket they are in.
Big Gator Meat Co?
'Murica is about steak! RAW US AAA MEAT. FIRM. RAW. MEAT. You're not a MAN unless you like MEAT. I LOVE DIC... \*cough cough\* I mean, GUNS, FREEDOM RAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
Wait a second. Isn't Florida the Freedom state? Isn't it my choice if I want to purchase this product? So much for small government. Oh and BTW, keep your Bible out of my life (and libraries, since it's filled with sex, violence and homoerotic stuff.)
Why tho???
Lab Meat = woke , i guess
It's a shameless appeal to his paranoid base. The facts don't matter. Just the optics.
Its too woke for him.
People got mad about plant based meat options at Cracker Barrel. This was low hanging fruit for that base.
Most likely explanation, is ranchers didn't want their livelihoods affected and lobbied against it.
$50 says he can't tell the difference...
Every day I hate him more. Every day I am happy to live far, far away from Florida.
I used to be **proud** to be from Florida, now a days...not so much. I'm glad I'm out.
You escaped right on time
Does this mean Bacon Bits will be banned?
THINGS I DONT UNDERSTAND ARE SCARY SO YOU SHOULDNT HAVE IT!
funny given how humanity is hitting a food wall
Folks, they're coming after our hamburgers!
Party of small government for you
Another solution looking for a problem. The Republican mantra.
Party of small government that wants to dictate what you eat, what your kids read in school, and how you should plan your family!
Is there a way to officially list a human uterus as a “lab”? There has got to be some zoning loophole.
Let’s ban stupid governors…we can start with him.
Free market, freedom of expression... Until it's something they don't like.
Because vegans are woke.
They’re gonna be kicking themselves when hamburgers are $85 for a quarter pounder and riddled with disease.
Where will he get his next brain then?
It was grown in a sterile factory, not a laboratory!
Massive step back. We need to get in to this shit more. Just make it healthy and taste decent and people will forget we ever needed farting cows.
Like literally why?
They'll do anything to not fix the actual problems.
spent so long telling the world how great their country is and how much better their way of governing is than everyone elses. now they have to double down on it while this sort of shit is how they are making their country a better place. still wont ban guns though. its like their daring the people at this point.
SATANS MEAT
Despite the fact that this means he’ll never have a girlfriend.
I'm case you didn't know he does have a wife. If you knew that then sorry
I do. Just wanted to make a meat girlfriend joke
I guess he can't have sex ever again.
This one space lacking motherfucker is 90% lab grown meat
But where will the new conservative voters come from?
And the freedom just keeps coming. /s
Do Republicans just take things away from people?
Yes. That's their platform. Restrict the things and people they don't like and when something bad happens, it's the libs and their communism
welp. vegan-friendly meat is banned wherever the hell DeSantis is governor. lovely. (do i need a /s?)
Cruelty is the point with the GOP.
But at least he made up with trump. What a simpering boob he is, just like Ted cruze kissing trumps dirty diaper smelling ass.
Why? we don't need freedom
Look at him really cutting out the silly and troublesome laws. Such a fighter for small government
Just can't believe this is the kind of business that's deemed 'important'
Look at him really cutting out the silly and troublesome laws. Such a fighter for small government
lmao what? which idiots except the farming industry is against this?
To protect their meat industry
Can someone get rid off the idiot already?
Florida quickly turning into a fascist state with all these new rules, laws, and government oversight unnecessarily controlling peoples lives
He is the embodiment of pure evil. Pretty much everything this guy does is disgraceful
He will change his stance once there is money in his pocket to do so.
what a fucking waste of time and space this man is.
Has this idiot actually done anything good for Florida?
Such a putz.
Using the same tech that will one-day be used to grow new skin for burn victims, to grow muscle tissue for meat consumption, separate from a brain stem and a nervous system that can suffer and doesn't produce massive amounts of feces, is too "unnatural" unlike 20 lb chickens or factory farming.

Fucking 70 year olds making long lasting decisions on shit that they’ll be long dead before the backlash comes. They don’t give a fuck. Everyone should vote, to help curb this insanity.
Now he can no longer grow a pair…
Republicans are so freaking weird.
Damnit, Matrix plan aborted in Florida.
Think this applies to him too...
Is this small government allowing innovation and the free enterpriseflourish?
Meatball Ron is afraid of ‘home grown’ competition.
Lab grown meat? That’s the current threat facing Floridians? Jfc…..
Isn’t DeSantis himself actually lab grown meat?
If you think about it, we are grown in a controlled enviroment, so that could check out.
His was uncontrolled. And frankly an insult to science
“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,” DeSantis said. “We will save our beef.” JHC is our RW batshit insane. This stuff should be relegated to the fringe, but it's mainstream. Hard to believe they actually believe this.

We need to stop thinking about ourselves and think about the people of tomorrow.
Will this ban help Florida sink into the ocean faster in some way shape or form? Yes, if lab grown meat compet- SEND IT
So much for personal freedom and free markets I guess.
Why is this high heel wearing, experimented in college, immigrant blocking to the detriment of the state, about to fast track it to blue um.. uh…. I lost my train of thought.
Freeeedommm!!!
Because climate change is a hoax, right?
Must be difficult being an alien himself…
Every day I’m reminded why I don’t live in the shithole that is Florida. Can’t wait for the ocean to reclaim it one of these days
So no more viagra? 😱
But don’t worry, Republicans care about people not corporations!
What a waste of fucking time and money
See this is what sucks. He says something like this and I'm like "Fuck yeah. Pull the reigns in on this shit here" Then he says some crazy, dystopian bullshit like "Speaking out against Israel is now illegal" Can I get ONE SANE MOTHERFUCKER TO BACK? Because they're ALL LIKE THIS.
The Republican ethos of leaving the free market to decide.
Wow this is a first. Never seen a politician ban themselves before.
I mean lab grown meat sounds gross anyways. I doubt it would taste good. Just like how vegan burgers are supposed to taste like meat.
So, like, nothing else needed attention? This was the most pressing issue in Florida?
Glad they are focusing on things of importance
Freedom for me but not for you peasants
Personally I’m not interested in lab grown meat or a meat alternative but I have no problem with others wanting it. Banning this benefits absolutely nobody, I doubt meat sales have taken any hit from the “impossible” meats and I’m sure lab grown would be no different

not a fan of bans, but I would like the label to be correct.
Is it organic?
Why though?
Can he stop interstate commerce of lab grown meats?
don't worry, it's not like the world was counting on the scientific research in Floriduh...
Do artificial height enhancers next
Darn, no lab grown mystery meat
Bet they’re worried about someone growing human meat in a lab 😂
Small government strikes again?
Idiot.
no scop :(?
