Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Ah the fearmongering when red meat is likely to give you cancer.
The research shows that plant-based meat is healthier.
Source
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.
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.
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.
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.
