DeSantis bans lab grown meat in Florida

[Ferguson97]

Republicans love the free market, unless the free market does something they don’t like.

Yeah maybe I'm out of touch or missing something but this is ridiculous...
People eat what they want

You’re not missing anything. Lab-grown meat is something liberals like. That is the sole reason why DeSantis is banning it. He’s the DailyWire president.

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.

This rule is more about protecting Florida's poultry and seafood industries than anything else.

This is also a bad reason!
