There isn't enough lab-grown meat in the U.S. to supply a dozen restaurants, yet two Republican governors are scared enough to ban it.

Good morning. I'm Paul Thornton, and it is Saturday, May 18, 2024. Here's what we've been doing in Opinion. When I first heard about the criminalization of lab-grown meat in Florida and Alabama — and yes, it is criminalization, since producing or distributing the stuff within those states is now punishable by fines and jail time — my first reaction was to roll my eyes at another 'own the libs' stunt by two Republican governors.

By the end of this year, Swartz predicts, enough products could be approved by the federal government to supply up to 100 restaurants. He also points to Israel and Singapore, both of which recently approved the sale of lab-grown meat, as two countries taking action because both have land and water shortages that make meeting the growing demand for animal protein extremely difficult.
