Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has made a name for himself backing culture-war-focused legislative proposals that have taken aim at everything from Disney to college professors' academic freedom. However, DeSantis has a new target in his sights: lab-grown meat.
Last Friday, DeSantis came out in support of Florida legislation that would ban the sale of lab-grown meat in the state.
"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 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."
Comment: DeSantis has signed the bill. Fox13 reports: More scientism hubris, thinking that man can replicate the intricacies of natural processes.
