He also cast the ban as pushback against “global elites” who have a “plan to force the world to eat meat grown in a petri dish or bugs to achieve their authoritarian goals.”

Pot, meat kettle.

Isn’t the whole point to have less demand on beef? Now the whole “free market” crowd is bullshitting that the beef industry is in any kind of danger. They just don’t want to give up any market share and, once again, are using legislation to protect themselves.

• Food safety, yes please, regulate lab grown meat.
• Cattle poultry industries, well adapt your product and offer to survive.

That picture is clearly chicken, not beef.
