I’d like to see someone show how the current system is “proven” and how it’s not adulterated before taking the word of some dinguses just out to protect their feelings and their money.
Uh if it’s unproven what the fuck are we making laws about it for
I know they’re doing this to protect their corporate overlords, but have they always been this blatant?
They can also add being anti “woke” to that mix, too. If they were able to act quicker, the moneyed interests would have found a way to not allow anything to be labeled “milk” if it was not part of Big Dairy.
It’s always been a mixed bag but there’s a lot out in open these days because there’s zero consequence. They aren’t losing a single vote from this so why bother hiding it?
“If somebody wants to eat that stuff, they’re welcome to it — they’re just not gonna find it in Nebraska grocery stores.”
So they are not, in fact, “welcome to it”.
Because FREEEEEEEEDUMB.
These people are always about the opposite of what they say they value. Competition? In the free market? Fuuuuuck that noise. We want massive subsidies poured into making poisonous products like beef while using up staggering amounts of water, land, and fuel, while poisoning the planet, because fuck you.
Time to stock up on weed and cultivated meat from Colorado!
This is merely about protecting established players in the industry. Let them compete.
If only people would admit to themselves just how “adulterated” most corporate farm meat is these days. Hormones. Antibiotics. Cannibalism.
It’s basically a bunch of bird flu factories at this point. Not to mention what it’s doing to antibiotics and their efficacy…
It’s got chemicals, and it’s made with dihydrogen monoxide, and cells and dna and proteins and all the sciency shit you won’t find in all-natural grass-fed beef.
I like my steak made of two things alone: Grit and Patriotism. Just like God intended.
It’s really that Monoxide that’ll get you the dual Hydrogens. That’s how they getcha.
Ah the fearmongering when red meat is likely to give you cancer.
The research shows that plant-based meat is healthier.
Plant-based ingredients are a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which all have health benefits. Furthermore, research indicates that plant-based diets can be beneficial for weight management, diabetes, and the microbiome. It also suggests that they may help prevent various health issues, such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
Additionally, official organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO)Trusted Source, are concerned about carcinogens in red and processed meats that may increase cancer risk. The American Heart Association (AHA)Trusted Source advises that eating more plant protein instead of meat may improve heart health.
However, some plant-based products contain fillers and added sodium and may be high in saturated fats. In addition, although some manufacturers add vitamin B12 — which is essential for the body — to their products, others do not, which makes plant-based meats inferior in this regard. Plant-based meats may also have less zinc and other minerals than regular meat.
Cultivated meat is not about health, or at least not the person eating it. There is little reason to believe it won’t be just as toxic as meat made the usual factory farm way. Again, to the person consuming it.
The externalities may be much better, however.
The article’s not about plant-based “meat”, though. That’s the whole reason I read it b/c I buy a metric crap ton of Beyond/Impossible products and figured my stupid red state won’ t be far behind with similar BS legislation.
This is more like the Florida ban which is a handout to cattle farms.
It’s also a shout-out to a lot of weak men worried their peen will disappear or something if cultivated meat were to be a common thing.
This is more like the Florida ban which is a handout to cattle farms.
Of course you’re right, especially in Nebraska, but it’s really interesting that the farmers are even concerned about it. I suppose they have learned from the dairy industry to fight alternatives becore they become popular?
Yes, this. It was hilariously pathetic when Big Dairy was trying to get things like almond milk named “nut juice”. Colbert’s take on it was epic.
I’ve always considered factory farmed meat to be pretty adulterated and unproven. Yall should ban that too.
