Florida needs all of the protectionism it can muster - Florida beef is just lousy. It turns out that just because you can raise cattle somewhere spent mean you should.

What, is he claiming to be one of the global poors?
When a Republican says "elite" what they mean is "educated", not "wealthy".
Free market and what not
Here’s an interesting podcast on the topic of lab meat that shows just how much grandstanding this “fight” really is. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4yCKSioorfxTL6x7PaunOR?si=fCHOyvmgSXqITX9x7_6GxA
TLDR: they’re banning a product that isn’t even commercially available to the public yet.

To discourage investment and protect ~~the people who bribe them~~ lobbyists.
It wouldn't be a Republican ban if it wasn't tackling a fictional "issue".
The best way to combat this is to import large amounts of lab grown meat in sufficient quantities to drive down the price to force the factory farms to either switch over to lab grown or go out of business.
The imported meat would also need to be packaged the same as traditionally grown meat.
Packaging it the same would violate labeling and food regulations.
The way to combat this is for Floridians to pull their collective heads out of their asses and start voting for pro-democracy, pro-human, anti-fascists candidates. But I won't hold my breath, they don't seem like the brightest bunch down there.
The animal ag industry is so heavily subsidised that I'm not sure this could work.
Republicunts are pathetic.
I ban your life
Isn't Florida a cow state?
