    It would be one thing if they really were banning it due to health concerns. But that’s not why they are doing it. It’s about money as it is the only thing they care about. Someone is paying them to prevent competition. So much for free enterprise. Also, to own da libs.

    They’ll change their mind once lab meat eventually becomes a tenth of the cost with ten times better taste than the real thing.

      I doubt it’ll ever taste as good as the real thing, but I can certainly see it eventually being cheaper if we ever cut out the massive subsidies.

        It doesn’t really need to be as good as a steak. If you can get it good enough to be used as an ingredient, like as ground beef, for stewing, or steak tips, then that’s a huge part of all beef production.

        Of course, a lot of those kinds of beef happen because they’re already not good enough for steak, but it’s something.

            And they are analogous such as with whole chicken breast in chicken parmigiana and shredded chicken in chicken salad. Beef was just a concrete example.

    I can’t wait until it turns out that they can grow lab-grown meat that tastes better than the finest Wagyu beef and people go up north to eat it.

    I thought government regulations were bad. Hang on, are these fellows not being genuine about that?

    One of the states with shortest life expectancy banning something that may help their health or environment. What a surprise.
