> “The legislature is doing a bill, they are trying to protect our meat,” DeSantis said, alluding to the effort. “And we’re gonna have meat in Florida; we’re not gonna do that fake meat — that doesn’t work.”

How does someone like this get to be governor?


>> Cultivated meat is made by taking live cells from an animal and then reproducing those cells to create a piece of tissue that is identical to, say, a chicken breast or a piece of steak.
