Florida Bans Lab-Grown Meat Sales

Governor Ron DeSantis signs legislation prohibiting the sale and manufacturing of lab-grown meat, citing protection of traditional agriculture.

The new law, effective from July 1, also restricts local regulation of electric vehicle charging stations.
DeSantis criticizes global elites, claiming they undermine traditional agriculture while promoting lab-grown meat.
The ban is seen as a move to protect Florida's cattle industry and is supported by local ranchers and farmers.
Critics argue the ban stifles innovation and could redirect investment to more business-friendly states.
The legislation does not prohibit research on cultivated meat, acknowledging its potential importance for space travel.
