Similar thing happening Romania too, it's disheartening but in a country where the meat industry was already hit hard I can understand the economic reasons behind it, but that doesn't mean I'm a fan of it.

Of course a lot of people are also just afraid of anything synthetic and "unnatural", falling into the same category as GMOs.

The country should be able to subsidise short-term economic failure, but it shouldn't hold afloat something that is bound to die (or reduce in size), especially through legal means. It goes against capitalism that underpins that economy, and common sense.... Things change, and businesses die.

Eh, in a real world sure, but a lot of governments run on populism more so than capitalism. Just sell whatever will get you re elected.

Italy has been on a roll of incredibly stupid and incompetent bills lately. Working on literally everything except insuring their people can fucking afford food.
