Oh gee, let's replace livestock farming. It's already not an efficient way of making food based on fuel and feed inputs. We'll raise the food in a lab using 10x more energy and resources and create protein that tastes like shit.
The fact that FDA would approve such an untested product is enough for me to avoid it like the plague. I guess if you buy the FDA a nice lunch you can get anything approved now days. Look at what they just did with the MRNA shots with all of the studies showing great harms and zero efficacy they had their opportunity to kill it and yet again approved it once again
You are right, it is an interesting argument for conservatives (I included) that always tout the "free market." The tension is always between a government's duty to protect and its duty to allow market forces to play out. Wish I had the all the answers. (Actually, I do but no one cares to ask. Ha.)
There is also certainly the unforeseen consequences of "growing" meat in a laboratory. I called them unforeseen because.... What could possibly go wrong with processing food in a lab?
I remember very well how the big food companies took essentially industrial waste products, added yellow dyes, called the product margarine and then marketed it as a more healthful alternative to butter (with the help of "science"). The American public fell for it, my mother included. My guess is that had people known how it was manufactured, they might have opted to stick with a traditional and natural product. Bottom line: the free market will work better as long as there is transparency.
The district court judge seems to forget that the Supreme Court already ruled on the question of the commerce clause and allowed the state of California to dictate how hogs are raised in other states. I would say the commerce clause is dead and the district court judge is wrong.
I'm not sure that won't be revisited in due course. State laws on free-range hens are also creating a difficult tail-wags-the-dog patchwork intruding on national commerce. Time will tell.
Not too sure why would they want to rule on it again? The conservatives had a majority and yet enough of them obviously thought it only applied to hog farmers in California
Let the free market do its work. Lab grown doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell, compared to the real thing. I worked for 48 years in the meat business. I watched fade after fade come and go. Look at the complete collapse of the beyond meat and similar products, both financially and market share wise.We all want to protect our farmers but is it the large conglomerates we are protecting our the small ranchers. Good article.

They're just prepping us for a Soylent Green future, John. No worries.
Brilliant!
Lab-grown Soylent Green!

WE REFUSE LAB MEAT LAB FRANKENWHO WEF GLOBALIST ANYTHING. PEOPLE UNITE AGAINST EVILS NOW
Regardless of what side of the dispute is taken, "save the climate from cows and farming" should not be part of a serious argument.
Amen!

livestock are essentially solar collectors.
