    “My administration will not allow you to eat this plant that tastes like meat,” said the small government conservative. “Also, women should die rather than let their doctors abort dead fetuses inside them.”

        Yea, I kinda like the idea of affordable mass produced chicken nuggies that didn’t come from a factory farm filled with cruelty. But I guess that’s too ungodly or something.

      If the meat isn’t generated through years of animal cruelty it’s just not meat. You need to taste the suffering or it’s just not the same.

    Remember that these guys are the ones that tout freedom and free market and tell you that “woke” is the main problem in life.

      You know, I’m not so sure that’s the case here. I’m pretty sure he just sees people excited for something that he doesn’t understand and wants a law against it.

      Don’t get me wrong, he is absolutely for sale. However, he also likes picking fights against anything he considers woke. Who paid him to take on Disney? He’s just a fucking moron.

    Meanwhile, US ground beef would cost something like $30 a pound if the subsidies were removed.

    Is there a pocket this person isnt in?? What defines lab grown beef different from beef on a level that a ban is even needed outside of the general checks the FDA (or local equivalent ) wouldnt already check for. Also if you are going to go this route I am SURE is will ban GMO stuff from the shelves as well…

    He’s making it sound like he’s trying to save the planet, which sounds pretty woke to me. We should probably outlaw him
