Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed on Monday a law banning lab-grown meat in the state, becoming the first one to pass such a measure in the United States, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported on Monday.
"Florida is fighting back against the global elite's plan to force the world to eat meat grown in a petri dish or bugs to achieve their authoritarian goals," DeSantis said in a statement. "Our administration will continue to focus on investing in our local farmers and ranchers, and we will save our beef."
