Makes Me VERY Happy!

Some Americans are merely disgusted by the idea of lab-grown meats, but many others are actually alarmed at the prospect of eating synthetic foods.
One state is now taking the lead by banning lab-grown meat from even being sold inside its borders.
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a bill that actually outlaws the sale of lab-grown meat in Florida making the Sunshine State the first to enact such a law.
DeSantis signed Senate Bill 1084 into law on May 1 during a visit to Wauchula, Florida.
Speaking at the Hardee County Cattleman’s Arena in Wauchula, DeSantis said that Florida stands with agriculture.
“In the State of Florida, we’ve put down the marker very clearly: We stand with agriculture,” DeSantis said, according to WTVT-TV. “We stand with the cattle ranchers. We stand with our farmers. Because we understand it’s important for the backbone of the state, it’s important for the culture, it’s important for our heritage.”
The new law makes several alterations to rules from the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services that now prohibits the manufacture, sale, holding or distribution of “cultivated meat” in Florida.
Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Wilton Simpson also celebrated the signing of SB 1084.
“Florida is making a tremendous step in the right direction by signing first-in-the-nation legislation banning lab-grown meat,” Simpson exclaimed. “Lab-grown meat is a disgraceful attempt to undermine our proud traditions and prosperity and is in direct opposition to authentic agriculture.”
“We must protect our incredible farmers and the integrity of American agriculture. Lab-grown meat is a disgraceful attempt to undermine our proud traditions and prosperity and is in direct opposition to authentic agriculture,” Simpson added, according to KXAN-TV.
One company that sells lab-created meat products said they were “disappointed” at the news and insisted, “We’re not going anywhere.”
“In a state that purportedly prides itself on being a land of freedom and individual liberty, its government is now telling consumers what meat they can or cannot purchase,” Good Meat said in an X post.
“The law is a setback for everyone: Floridians who deserve the right to eat whatever safe and approved meat they want; Florida’s technology sector, innovators and entrepreneurs; and all those working to stop the worst impacts of climate change,” the company added.
Some nutritionists have also sounded the alarm over products developed in labs over claims they lack essential nutrients.
Still, Florida is not the first jurisdiction to reject lab-grown meat products. In Europe, Italy has also turned against the products by banning lab-grown meats as a “health threat.”
Regardless, several large meat producers have begun investing large sums of money into the development of lab-grown food products.
And despite the wide-spread disgust many feel towards the whole idea of synthetic meat, many elites — including Bill Gates — are pushing world leaders to reduce animal-based food production and replace it with artificial products such as lab-grown meats. source
Brethren, I cannot tell you how excited I was to read this article. I know that I drive my hubby a little crazy because I refuse to eat GMO foods; but Especially steak and chicken!! You GO Governor DeSantis!!
It’s ALWAYS an extra good day when Bill Gates is having a bad one!!
all the states should do the same!
Amen to that!!
I add my Amen to that too! I don’t know where this issue stands here in Canada, but I hope the provinces will react in the same manner.
Let’s pray that this will happen.
Amen! I also avoid China owned agricultural products. They bought out Smithfield years ago& many are under their label (Jimmy Dean, Ball Park, some others). Hurray for de Santis. I hope Gov. Lee
follows suit. He’s from a 4th generation farm/ ranch family, so maybe he will.
Arkansas Gov. Sanders said no to China buying Arkansas farmlands.
Many in my area raising chickens, doing a garden. I’ve had gardens in the past, but Im not up to it now.
Let’s not be too hasty against lab grown, reconstituted, rebuilt, reincarnated, resurrected, or whatever’d critter meat. Whatever Billie G loves we should also embrace. Cuz he’s almost a god, dontcha know.
In “Nam we embraced glue for the wounded too far from surgery. It was a good idea, so why not now for consumables?
Nowadays we can sweep the slaughter house floors & save those scraps by trimming them as needed to glue back together to be naturally looking albeit from different species but no biggie.
We now can get bug burgers at Kroger. Yum eh? Kinda like jigsaw puzzles. Who more knowledgeable than that great chef Julia Childs “save those gizzards” or (Road kill anyone)? Meat kits will take on a new meaning, unidentified, budget friendly MK grade. We need to get used to the Billie G prescribed peasant healthy diet. This is the “brave new world” & we’re stuck until our Lord & Savior comes to get us. BTW HOLY & MIGHTY LORD GOD…what’s the hold up?
He will come at the appointed time – we can be sure of that!!
Jolly good news indeed! Notice the slimy wording of Good Meat’s mealy-mouthed cant. When anyone starts taking that tone, and using such wording, one knows one is hearing the silky-smooth tongue of the devil wagging. They try to sound so good, so caring, and hurt such a law might be made — one that protects people from choosing their nasty non-product, and of course does them out of money — boo hoo hoo! No one is preventing them from producing good, real meat, so why not just stop whinging and cringing, and do that? Quite. That nasty chap, often depicted wearing red tights, who makes them use such sickening language when he gets thwarted, doesn’t like people to have the good food God gave them to eat, and so they, as his measly little bondservants, WILL not to do anything that is good.
Anyway, I think I am ranting, and that isn’t dignified, so I will just say again, jolly good news, and I am awfully glad to hear that at least one American state has a seemingly decent governor. I pray the Lord will help and embolden him to further heights against all the evils satan wants to flood America with, and that He will raise up one or two over here to do the same thing in Great Britain and Ireland — our leaders are mostly about as loony, ineffectual or evil — or indeed all three at one, and more — as any you might care to pick out as U.S. bad examples! 🙂
Amen, sis
