November 15, 2023 from the Politico:
"A Florida Republican has a beef with lab-grown meat. State Rep. Tyler Sirois has proposed legislation that would make it a criminal offense to sell ”cultivated” meat in Florida, claiming that it’s an “affront to nature and creation” and the latest front in the “ESG agenda” — referring to environmental, social and corporate governance, which has been target of Gov. Ron DeSantis and Republican state leaders.
"Sirois, a developer who said he doesn’t have ties to agriculture, said he hopes Florida will become the first state to ban cultured meat.
"He also has a powerful ally supporting him: Wilton Simpson, the state’s agriculture commissioner and former Senate president, who is '100%' behind the effort.
"Sam Ard, director of governmental affairs for the Florida Cattlemen’s Association, told POLITICO his grou' hasn’t taken a position on the bill but opposes calling the lab-grown product “meat.'"
