Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has banned lab-grown meat, saying he will “save our beef” from the “global elite” and its “authoritarian plans”.
“Florida is fighting back against the global elite’s plan to force the world to eat meat grown in a petri dish or bugs,” Mr DeSantis said in a statement.
The first-in-the-nation law prohibits anyone from selling or distributing lab-grown meat in Florida.
Similar efforts are under way in Alabama, Arizona and Tennessee.
Lab-grown or “cultivated” meat was first cleared for consumption in the US in 2022.
The process of making cultivated meat involves extracting cells from an animal, which are then fed with nutrients such as proteins, sugars and fats. The end product is genetically indistinguishable from traditionally produced meat.
Studies have suggested that eating cultivated meat can cut carbon emissions and water usage, and free up land for nature, compared to eating traditionally produced meat.
So, if the ‘global elite’ are not the 1%, and as seen from this whole Gaza thing, they are not ‘the jews’ (which is what I though Republicans were always coyly referring to when they used that term), who the heck do the Republicans think the ‘Global Elite’ are?
Queer students, the vaccinated, and single moms who have to work 3 shitty jobs to pay rent. Those are the true global elite.
The real mental gumnastic exercise is understanding that they’re somehow both elite and weak beta cuck trash (add whatever other derisions you’d like).
The enemy is both weak and strong.
Anyone who tries to benefit society without concern for profit.
Actually, anyone who tries to do anything without concern for profit.
If you’re not familiar with the Farengi from Star Trek, look them up. It matches Republicans pretty well.

Judging by the laws being passed I’d guess drag queens.
It’s still the Jews, I think.
They just mean the ones that haven’t gone back to Israel where they clearly belong, unlike the nice normal white proper Americans, who definitely didn’t emigrate in from anywhere, and were here all along.
