Politicians shouldn’t decide what's for dinner

Last month, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) signed a bill to ban cultivated meat in Florida. It sparked headlines and forced a lot of Americans to consider whether they would ever want their meat to come from a bioreactor instead of an animal.

Right now, most answer “no.” Sixty percent of those surveyed in a recent YouGov poll said they definitely or probably wouldn’t try cell-cultivated meat. Even Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) jumped in with DeSantis, mocking the image of a bioreactor and saying he’s in the “pro-ribeye” caucus.
