This is overreach and should be struck down. Even products that present real health risks (cigarettes, alcohol) cannot be banned so it's hard to see how lab grown meat being banned stands up.
Yeh, came here to say I don't see how this survives a court challenge.
What's the legal basis for the law? Virtue Signaling To Your Base is not a reason any rational jurist is going to accept for outlawing some private company growing meat in a lab and selling it to private citizens on the free market.
What's there to challenge? Conservative judges believe that (red) states have the right to ban any and all behavior that conservatives don't like.
The sudden realization by liberals that government is not allowed to regulate food of all things appears quite ridiculous, LOL
But there’s no rational explanation for this specific regulation. “Some people don’t like it and think it’s icky” is not a good reason to ban it.
But that's exactly what California voters did with pork regulations. States also ban dog meat for the same reason .
Concern about the treatment and rights of living things is not comparable to "it's icky" as a reason to ban things.
