Nebraska Moves to Ban Cultivated Meat, Calling It “Unproven” and “Adulterated”

It's got chemicals, and it's made with dihydrogen monoxide, and cells and dna and proteins and all the sciency shit you won't find in all-natural grass-fed beef.
I like my steak made of two things alone: Grit and Patriotism. Just like God intended.
It's really that Monoxide that'll get you the dual Hydrogens. That's how they getcha.
Ah the fearmongering when red meat is likely to give you cancer.
The research shows that plant-based meat is healthier.
Plant-based ingredients are a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which all have health benefits. Furthermore, research indicates that plant-based diets can be beneficial for weight management, diabetes, and the microbiome. It also suggests that they may help prevent various health issues, such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
Additionally, official organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO)Trusted Source, are concerned about carcinogens in red and processed meats that may increase cancer risk. The American Heart Association (AHA)Trusted Source advises that eating more plant protein instead of meat may improve heart health.
However, some plant-based products contain fillers and added sodium and may be high in saturated fats. In addition, although some manufacturers add vitamin B12 — which is essential for the body — to their products, others do not, which makes plant-based meats inferior in this regard. Plant-based meats may also have less zinc and other minerals than regular meat.
The article's not about plant-based "meat", though. That's the whole reason I read it b/c I buy a metric crap ton of Beyond/Impossible products and figured my stupid red state won' t be far behind with similar BS legislation.
This is more like the Florida ban which is a handout to cattle farms.

Of course you're right, especially in Nebraska, but it's really interesting that the farmers are even concerned about it. I suppose they have learned from the dairy industry to fight alternatives becore they become popular?
Yes, this. It was hilariously pathetic when Big Dairy was trying to get things like almond milk named "nut juice". Colbert's take on it was epic.
It's also a shout-out to a lot of weak men worried their peen will disappear or something if cultivated meat were to be a common thing.
Cultivated meat is not about health, or at least not the person eating it. There is little reason to believe it won't be just as toxic as meat made the usual factory farm way. Again, to the person consuming it.
The externalities may be much better, however.

There is no reason to believe anything without evidence.

There is no such thing as plant-based meat. There are plant-based protein products shaped like meat. And since they are all highly processed compared to actual meat, I would like to see longer-term studies before assuming any of that stuff is safe. Meanwhile, I'm sticking to tofu and tempeh. They're processed too, but at least we have a few centuries of actual usage to look at when considering safety.
Just as a sidenote, tempeh is actually a whole food. It's whole beans, fermented, which has the added benefits of making the beans more digestible, and reducing bloating.
