Even if I knew nothing else about it just knowing that the Florida legislature is against it makes me for it.

Conservatives: “Let the free market decide!”

Also conservatives: “Not like that.”

The sound of it? I would assume it’s silent. /s

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Opponents of lab-grown meat include beef and poultry associations worried that laboratory-made hamburgers or chicken nuggets could cut into their business.

Cattle and poultry associations are listed as chief supporters of restrictions, although some meat companies have also partnered with cultivated-meat firms to help meet global demand for protein.

Justin Kolbeck, chief executive of San Francisco-based Wildtype, which is working on lab-grown salmon, has traveled to Tallahassee, the Florida state capital, repeatedly to discuss the bill with lawmakers.

In Florida, opponents of the ban have seized on a recent report on Chinese state-owned media in which government officials cited the state’s proposed restrictions as something that would benefit China.

State Representative Lyndsay Cross, a Democrat, opposes the restriction, calling it “anti free market” and adding, “If consumers want this product, they’ll have to look at other countries including China.”

A recent amendment to the Florida measure would allow research on cultivated meat to be carried out within state boundaries, an attempt to allay concerns about hurting the space industry.
