So much for the free market
It's never a free market when the old guard needs protection.
Imagine if it even tastes better!
The horror!
and doesn't fuck up your cholesterol.
It will probably contain less harmful stuff, like antibiotics, as well.
This is not beef substitute, this is actual beef, but grown in a lab, not taken from a live animal.
I just recently learned that the beef industry literally has an online troll farm of >20,000 paid "MBA" (Masters of Beef Advocacy) graduates. It certainly goes against their self-interest no differently than oil opposing electric cars.
Edit: For the doubters.
Well I can see why! No matter what lab-grown meat has to offer, you just can't beat the taste of freshly seared grass-fed steak on a charcoal grill. And the more the cow suffered before its death, the better it tastes! Ain't nothing more American than that. No woke lab full of so-called "scientists" (i.e. agents serving the liberal agenda) can match that!
So next time you're at the polling station and some socialist put a measure on the ballot to regulate your local cattle industry that provides thousands of appropriately-paid jobs to America's youth (free from union oppression, of course) because of "the environment" or "child labor laws", think again!
Too right about that! Plus I just so happened to hear that Free Range Freedom Ranch promises to deliver the tastiest, most healthiest non-atherosclerotic-inducing, ANTI-Cancer (TM) Beef Patties in the whole Freedom-Lubbin 'Merica! Shucks, imagine that!
But are they so powerful that they are influencing legislation to this degree? I wouldn't be surprised if the answer was yes, but I feel like there have to be other groups against it. Is there a religious angle? Do people just think it's icky? I'm genuinely curious.
Pure capitalism, institutionalized corruption.
It's only a few thousand to purchase your very own member of US congress.
Probably only a few hundred or a nice dinner or a junket to the strip club to buy a state rep or senator.
Strip club extra action: feed them drinks and get some pictures for some bonus kompromat.
its always money, and in this case also precedent.
other red-neck, anti-human states can then follow whatever florida does to prevent the free market from correcting for animal torture.
money
They can still have business, just not in the animal sector. Lab grown meat will still need nutrients to grow.
