What are their views on raw milk?
I'm assuming they are very, very stupid and hypocritical.
Same with feces in their beef.
“If somebody wants to eat that stuff, they’re welcome to it — they’re just not gonna find it in Nebraska grocery stores.”
So they are not, in fact, "welcome to it".
Probably their same view on other aspects of (actual) freedom, like abortion and freedom FROM religion, and so on. You are welcome to it, but first, you have to GTFO.
Because FREEEEEEEEDUMB.
These people are always about the opposite of what they say they value. Competition? In the free market? Fuuuuuck that noise. We want massive subsidies poured into making poisonous products like beef while using up staggering amounts of water, land, and fuel, while poisoning the planet, because fuck you.
The only thing I’ll buy in Nebraska is gasoline and that’s so I can get the fuck OUT of Nebraska.
Time to stock up on weed and cultivated meat from Colorado!
This is one reason why I keep referring to states with legal weed "free states". That's why I love loving in Colorado. For the states that had trigger laws that kicked in on abortion the minute the illegitimate "supreme" court reversed 50 years of legal precedent, I started calling those states Gilead states.
The qons and the Enlightened Centrists (TM) think that kind of frank language is just all too much, man, but I don't think it is hyperbole at all.
Great, I'm sure your clever coinages are all that we'll need to overturn all that state oppression.
If only people would admit to themselves just how “adulterated” most corporate farm meat is these days. Hormones. Antibiotics. Cannibalism.
It's basically a bunch of bird flu factories at this point. Not to mention what it's doing to antibiotics and their efficacy....
It's got chemicals, and it's made with dihydrogen monoxide, and cells and dna and proteins and all the sciency shit you won't find in all-natural grass-fed beef.
I like my steak made of two things alone: Grit and Patriotism. Just like God intended.
It's really that Monoxide that'll get you the dual Hydrogens. That's how they getcha.
Ah the fearmongering when red meat is likely to give you cancer.
The research shows that plant-based meat is healthier.
Plant-based ingredients are a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which all have health benefits. Furthermore, research indicates that plant-based diets can be beneficial for weight management, diabetes, and the microbiome. It also suggests that they may help prevent various health issues, such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
Additionally, official organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO)Trusted Source, are concerned about carcinogens in red and processed meats that may increase cancer risk. The American Heart Association (AHA)Trusted Source advises that eating more plant protein instead of meat may improve heart health.
However, some plant-based products contain fillers and added sodium and may be high in saturated fats. In addition, although some manufacturers add vitamin B12 — which is essential for the body — to their products, others do not, which makes plant-based meats inferior in this regard. Plant-based meats may also have less zinc and other minerals than regular meat.
The article's not about plant-based "meat", though. That's the whole reason I read it b/c I buy a metric crap ton of Beyond/Impossible products and figured my stupid red state won' t be far behind with similar BS legislation.
This is more like the Florida ban which is a handout to cattle farms.

Of course you're right, especially in Nebraska, but it's really interesting that the farmers are even concerned about it. I suppose they have learned from the dairy industry to fight alternatives becore they become popular?
Yes, this. It was hilariously pathetic when Big Dairy was trying to get things like almond milk named "nut juice". Colbert's take on it was epic.
It's also a shout-out to a lot of weak men worried their peen will disappear or something if cultivated meat were to be a common thing.
Cultivated meat is not about health, or at least not the person eating it. There is little reason to believe it won't be just as toxic as meat made the usual factory farm way. Again, to the person consuming it.
The externalities may be much better, however.

There is no reason to believe anything without evidence.

There is no such thing as plant-based meat. There are plant-based protein products shaped like meat. And since they are all highly processed compared to actual meat, I would like to see longer-term studies before assuming any of that stuff is safe. Meanwhile, I'm sticking to tofu and tempeh. They're processed too, but at least we have a few centuries of actual usage to look at when considering safety.
Just as a sidenote, tempeh is actually a whole food. It's whole beans, fermented, which has the added benefits of making the beans more digestible, and reducing bloating.
I've always considered factory farmed meat to be pretty adulterated and unproven. Yall should ban that too.
That's right, two things can be bad at the same time.
I know they're doing this to protect their corporate overlords, but have they always been this blatant?
It's always been a mixed bag but there's a lot out in open these days because there's zero consequence. They aren't losing a single vote from this so why bother hiding it?
Look into the ag-gag laws, where "disparagement" of agricultral products was outlawed. They've all been thrown out by the courts, though if they came back, who knows what the current slimeballs would do.
They can also add being anti "woke" to that mix, too. If they were able to act quicker, the moneyed interests would have found a way to not allow anything to be labeled "milk" if it was not part of Big Dairy.
Uh if it's unproven what the fuck are we making laws about it for
I'm very curious what they'd say it needs to pass in order to be "proven".
And then I'm curious if a pack of ground beef from the grocery store would be able to meet the same standard
They don't care anyway. It's about the money and if they can whip up just enough conspiracy theories about how cultivated meat is something "they" (the globalists, aka, THE JOOS - and let's be real, that's what so much conspiratorial bullshit always boils down to) want to make you eat, they can stall out progress.
Just like they do on climate change. Which, by the way, cultivated meat would help address. But of course, next quarter's profits will take precedence over us, our children, our grandchildren, and so on.
The precautionary principle. For food and drugs, they have to be proven safe before being allowed onto the market. That's a good idea, despite Nebraska perverting it for their own corrupt protectionist reasons.
Looks like famines back on the menu for red states, get the fuck out while you can.
I'd like to see someone show how the current system is "proven" and how it's not adulterated before taking the word of some dinguses just out to protect their feelings and their money.
Woah, woah, don't start spreading misinfo. It's someone else's money they're protecting, for pennies on the dollar. Buying politicians is a great ROI
Shrug. In some cases, it might be both, since our legislators can straight up do insider trading, apparently.
I know of people that, because of companies they work for that involve trading, they have to either link all brokerage accounts to systems that are for compliance reasons, or submit all info on the regular to these compliance teams every quarter.
And what do you think happens if any suspicious anomalies are found for these plebes? Is that information turned over to regulatory bodies? You bet it is. But if you are a politician....
But yes. Elon is a prime example. He spent millions on donvict, and already the return is apparently billions. So yeah, orders of power more return on buying politicians.
Great... now we're being racist about proteins.
Oh, cultivated meat - just like anything and anyone that deviates from what dumbasses think is a "normal" diet - is most DEFINITELY part of the stupid culture war that the qons love to engage in. If it isn't fully on their radar yet, it will be.
These are the same dumbasses that think "they" want us all to eat insects (for the protein once "they" take away your precious, precious dead cow flesh, because, duh, protein is a miraculous ingredient and it is only found in dead things, lol).
So yeah, I'm waiting for the "cultivated meat will make you gay or trans" qonspiracy bullshit to start up in earnest.
