If the government doesn’t regulate who will? Do you trust your fellow human being to control himself? Lots do self regulate, as evidenced by comments from those whose experiences don’t conform with the claim that was put forward here. Most often, their claims are simply words they repeat after hearing them in a news report or reading them in an article. Without first hand knowledge, it’s simply their opinion based on hearsay. And frequently the facts don’t support their narrative.

Picking winners and losers? Thought conservatives were against that. Shouldn’t the free market dictate if Floridians want to eat ribeye sludge?

I think its more than posturing… he’s pleasing Florida’s beef producers by passing a law that benefits them at the expense of out-of-state competition. That’s pretty normal for a governor to do. www.politico.com/news/2023/08/17/meat-industry-lobbying-ahead-of-farm-bill-00111634The lab-grown meat companies are making a play to directly compete with the traditional meat industry, and they’re doing it by lobbying for as much Federal assistance as they can get. At the moment, the process to grow lab meat is too inefficient to be a viable competitor to ranching and traditional farming. But that could change as technology advances. I’m not necessarily opposed to lab-grown meat in principle. But it would seem to be all around a better idea to take the funding for lab meat and instead put it towards research for improving technology and techniques relating to better sustainability of real livestock. I am a big believer in pivoting environmental protection efforts towards terraforming currently unproductive ecosystems such as the Sahara. If the Sahara could be turned into a grassland again, it could probably host enough cattle to feed the world. I’m all for exploring alternative proteins such as insects.

If the government doesn’t regulate who will? Do you trust your fellow human being to control himself? The government already regulates. That's the point being made. Inefficient regulation doesn't necessitate the need for more regulation. So, let's use Cyclist's bloody cow teats as an example - there's 6 of us who say nope, never seen it on the dairies we've been on and in. I grew up around a lot of dairies and the animals are well cared for. But Cyclist read or saw something that tipped his heart. He's fully against dairies and wishes additional regulation, stopping the practice cause we can get milk from almonds and oats. Whatever triggered him was an anomaly. But the govt will more than likely try to further regulate cause he's upset. Hurting the dozen or so other dairies mentioned as taking good care of their cows. What about the ARS (red snapper) in the Atlantic. They shut the season and now have an unprecedented (NOAA's word, not mine) population in ARS. There are fish kills from sharks and catch & release. So they want to regulate even more up to the point of closing offshore fishing between 90 and 200 feet off FL's east coast. Why? To protect an overabundance of fish that they have never seen so many. What about gun control. Last i knew, murder was illegal. But it's the gun's fault and the various govts keep wanting to ban guns cause people kill people. But that's already illegal. Three easy examples of over-regulation and why you can't trust the government to do the right thing. Enforce the existing rules & laws, and then we can talk. Until then stop creating new rules and regulations.

I didn't watch this but do agree that more folks are fat these days as compared to earlier years. Processed foods Food additives Growth chemicals in the milk & meats Working at a desk vs doing some kind of manual labor
