I don’t know if it is right to ban lab-grown meat. I would rather put a policy in place that doesn’t allow the government to require people to eat lab-grown or printed food as the technology improves.

I believe policies put in place to preserve the people’s freedom are more important.

Here are examples of states that are already putting it in place to Ban lab grown meat.

Florida became the first US state to ban the production and sale of lab-grown, or “cell-cultivated” meat.

I’m usually pretty libertarian oriented and small government, but food is one thing that government does need to be involved in. Ingredients in our food is a very important thing and has massive implications on our health, and it can be impossible to support as a free market.

Look at the conversation regarding seed oils. It’s almost impossible to avoid those oils when you start looking at the ingredients of most things in the grocery store. There is not a good way to be anti seed oil currently. It’s also especially not easy to switch to the few products that are free of those oils, due to higher costs and inflation making things hard for people to live.

Then there’s things like the conversation about alternative “milk.” The use of the word “milk” in alternatives that come from soy, coconut, etc. implies health benefits that simply are not there because it’s not dairy milk. As far as that goes, countries like Canada require them to be called “coconut drink” instead of “milk” to avoid the false equivalence. Alternative meats would also fall into this as well.

We don’t need to pretend liberty can’t exist without the PROPER regulation of food. I agree there will be a point where it’s too much but things such as ban on certain ingredients or regulating others, will not be too much to do. It will not harm our freedom.

I agree there needs to be some standards. I’ve also asked for a policy that bread can’t be called bread if it has any kind of added sugar in it. If there is, then it must be called a pastry. Ban calling a bread a bread if it has added sugar
