\n\n“DeSantis came out in support of Florida legislation that would ban the sale of lab-grown meat in the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I know the Legislature’s doing a bill to try to protect our meat. You need meat, OK? We’re going to have meat in Florida,” DeSantis said<\/a> during a Friday press conference. “We’re going to have fake meat? That doesn’t work. We’re going to make sure to do it right. But there’s a whole ideological agenda that’s coming after, I think, a lot of important parts of our society.””<\/p>\n\n\n\n …<\/p>\n\n\n\n “like many attempts to curb vegan alternatives to meat and dairy, DeSantis’ support for these bills is also aimed at protecting animal farmers from competition\u2014even if such competition is basically hypothetical.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
