This is dead right and much more right than National Review's editors. This is not a restriction against free market competition. Desantis' move is to prevent regulating cattle ranching out of existence. The Davos crowd is ramming down all forms of rationing of necessities for no good reason other than their own Malthusian paranoia. It is easy for Billionaires to think about replacing externalities with higher costs, but what they are really doing is telling poor people that they can't have things that they want and pricing the lower supply into a market only the rich can participate in. These shmoes aren't going to be giving up steak. They're going to eat the niche produced steak that no one else can afford, while the rest of us eat either bugs, tofu or test tube protein that will never have the testing necessary to determine what the long term health harms will be on the poor. Thanks for the video Carolyn, and you should buy the farm next to Brett, if you haven't already.

If Caroline’s gig at National Review doesn’t pan out in the long run, I would be willing to bet that Reason Magazine would be delighted to have her on board. She seems to have a libertarian vibe going on, in my opinion.

I'm sorry National Review but I've unsubscribed to the channel cause of the pure stupidity of this video and I'm sorry but I prefer my meats, fruits, veggies, and etc and vice-versa to not I repeat to not come from a lab where they do who knows what and to anyone who supports this then I'll be praying for you all

No! Absolutely not! Predictably, Once you introduce lab grown meat, the real meat will become scarce. Why? Because lab meat will be sold cheaper than real meat to appeal grocers and underprivileged citizens creating a shift in the meat market. This shift will be temporary until real meat is no longer available. Then the lab meat will increase in price equivalent or above the average price for real meat. The overall long term nutritional benefits of lab protein have not been fully identified and understood to foresee its true benefits for humanity and the environment .

How about making it a felony to give someone lab-grown fake meat without properly informing them of it? I'm just imagining what happens when this grows (so to speak) and you have to try to figure out if the steak on your plate in a restaurant is actually from a cow or a test tube. (I hope Downey's a better writer than presenter. Gawd, what an awful voice!)

I'm thinking beans. And beer.

I don't like lab grown meat, but banning it isn't the idea either. Just because I don't like something, doesn't mean it needs to be banned. This ban culture is pathetic

I have no issue with this law. Your ignorance is palpable and not worth entertaining.
