Florida’s Governor is speaking out about meat and about what he sees as inferior substitutes.
In Central Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis held forth not just about lab-grown meat, but also about more traditional veggie burgers, which he claims are not as healthy as normal hamburgers fashioned from animal flesh.
“You know, I was, I did a taste test one time,” he said during remarks at the 96th Florida Future Farmers of America State Convention & Expo.
“One of the companies that does a lot of this stuff is headquartered in Florida. So I was down and I was interested in trying other things, but they had me try this burger that was not made of meat, it was not lab grown, it was like plant based, all this other stuff, which look, if that’s what you like, the thing about it is it’s actually less healthy than just eating the meat to begin with.”
DeSantis did not support his claim regarding the health benefits of hamburgers. However, he also addressed the state’s ban on lab grown meat, contending he signed off on that to protect farmers.
“Some people said, well, if someone wants to cook up meat in a lab and create it, why can’t people do it? And one, I don’t know if it will do harm to anybody, nobody really knows that at this stage. But if it were just a matter of consumer choice, hey, you say, you know what’s the big deal? Right?” DeSantis said.
“But it’s not, it’s part of this agenda and these headlines that I read for you, they want to create meat in a lab so that they can turn around and say you don’t need to farm anymore,” he added, alluding to a series of article titles he introduced his remarks with that point to the larger conspiracy he sees to take away meat.

The Cow Collective really does own DeSlantis.
Banning cultured meat was the first indication.

What on earth did Governor Valley girl say?
Why does it matter to him if people do not want to eat meat? A lot of health-conscious people are vegetarians or vegans by choice. And why would he trash a Florida business that makes plant-based protein?
Idiot.

There are plenty of neat eaters out there.. Farmers have no worries..
But dont take plant based burgers away..we vegans need to eat as well..
Plant based.. the best
no e – coli
Or other diseases picked up from eating dead flesh.

Salmonella is coming more and more from plant foods.
Sad to say.

I was there and this is leaving the entire part about how one of the reasons he’s doing this is for job security. He has signed several bills in order to fund the Florida FFA and a large majority of us work in the livestock industry if it wasn’t him it was another speaker who quoted “agriculture security is national security” we as a country need farmers and the agriculture community Ron DeSantis has not only the students best interest but also Florida and for that matter America

the more food is processed it is less healthy for you(fake burgers).humans are omnivores.human body needs meat protein.with vegan diet you must supplement your diet to get those needed proteins and minerals. I’ll take a real burger any day!

Dear Lord, his term cannot be over soon enough. All politicians pander to some extent, but he puts it in overdrive. Speaking of the FFA, their leadership and conference center in Polk County has been up for sale because the foundation is broke.

I feel for the animals I do..
But I have to watch my enemies. Can’t trust

At ~10,000 head per day, it would take a lot of test-tubes to replace live animals.
