Governor DeSantis signs legislation to keep lab-grown meat out of Florida
Press release from the Office of Governor Ron DeSantis
HARDEE COUNTY, Fla. – Today, Governor Ron DeSantis signed SB 1084 to prohibit the sale of lab-grown meat in the state of Florida. Florida is taking action to stop the World Economic Forum’s goal of forcing the world to eat lab-grown meat and insects, “an overlooked source of protein.” While the World Economic Forum is telling the world to forgo meat consumption, Florida is increasing meat production and encouraging residents to continue to consume and enjoy 100% real Florida beef.
“Today, 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,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Our administration will continue to focus on investing in our local farmers and ranchers, and we will save our beef.”
“Florida is taking a tremendous step in the right direction by signing first-in-the-nation legislation banning lab-grown meat. We must protect our incredible farmers and the integrity of American agriculture. Lab-grown meat is a disgraceful attempt to undermine our proud traditions and prosperity and is in direct opposition to authentic agriculture,” said Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson. “I applaud Governor DeSantis, Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, House Speaker Paul Renner, Senator Jay Collins, and Representative Danny Alvarez for standing up for Florida’s farmers and consumers. Together, we will keep Florida’s agricultural industry strong and thriving.”
In opposition to the World Economic Forum and others, Florida has taken action to support the state’s agriculture and meat industry by:
- Modernizing Florida’s Right to Farm Act to protect reasonable agricultural activities from frivolous lawsuits.
- Signing legislation to ensure that agri-tourism operators qualify for protection against property tax assessments when operating on agricultural lands.
- Simplifying the steps for Florida Farmers to receive sales tax exemptions for agricultural materials.
- Reestablishing funding for the Rural and Family Lands Protection Program in 2022 at $300 million.
- Protecting through that program over 36,000 acres of farmland.
- Investing more than $2.8 billion into Florida’s agricultural industry in The Framework for Freedom Budget.
Additionally, to promote the growth of one of Florida’s leading counties for agriculture, Governor DeSantis awarded $6 million to Hardee County through the Job Growth Grant Fund. This award will help develop an industrial site in Hardee County and construct a 40,000-square-foot warehouse to incentivize new companies moving to the area. This warehouse will also provide additional space for current businesses located at the site. The investment is estimated to bring nearly 200 jobs and help attract additional high-demand, high-wage jobs to Hardee County. Since 2019, Florida has invested more than $195 million through the Job Growth Grant Fund to strengthen infrastructure and workforce training programs that create opportunities for Floridians.
Oh man, no Play-Doh shaped meat for Florida.
Thank you governor. As an owner of a black angus cattle ranch I’m happy to see florida has my back.
Thank you for being a cattle rancher.
Thank goodness for common sense. Fake meat full of chemicals….yek.
Hallelujah 🇺🇸🙏🫶
The global elites only want real meat for themselves in their fancy restaurants of the future. Not in Florida, not gonna happen.
PS: what about Beyond burgers and Impossible fake meat already here?
That’s from soy beans and vegetables. It’s not meat at all, it’s vegan stuff made to taste like meat.
The lab grown meat is grown from the leftover bovine cancerous cells that they use to make the c19 vax shots.
I dont know if that is true or not but it funny. LOL
Glad we have a Governor who is wise to what the WEF & WHO are doing and is fighting for our freedom & liberty and against global totalitarianism and Vaccine Passports.
Anyone who voluntarily wears a face mask is a fascist commi. It’s turned into a social justice thing. It’s the commi flag.
Why did those UF protesters for Hamas get arrested for wearing face masks? Were they wearing them to protect themselves from C19? They were wearing them to hide their identity like ANTIFA fascists!
Our local government and ACSB is infiltrated with face diaper wearing commies pushing UN agenda.
Anyone who thinks a face mask works has drunk the commi koolaid.
Say NO to mandatory vax passports.
Pink, you’re selling ignorant BS.
“How the Cochrane Review went wrong. Report questioning COVID masks blows up, prompts apology
The Cochrane Review has apologized for an evidence review that led many to conclude, inaccurately, that masks don’t work.
The idea that masks don’t help slow COVID is an “inaccurate and misleading interpretation” of the report they published in January, Karla Soares-Weiser, editor-in-chief of the Cochrane Library, wrote in an update posted to the their website on Friday. …”

Cochrane studied results of handing out masks, not actually wearing them. Less than 10% of those receiving them wore them in their study.
A larger study (178k in intervention group v 163k in control group) where actual wearing of masks was measured had positive results:
“CONCLUSION
A randomized-trial of community-level mask promotion in rural Bangladesh during the COVID-19 pandemic shows that the intervention increased mask usage and reduced symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections, demonstrating that promoting community mask-wearing can improve public health.”

Wow, 4 commenters don’t like hearing scientifically established facts. Primitive!
Are they cannibals too?
That is our Great Guv and his efficient Staff working for the Citizenry of the Great State of Florida, thank you Governor DeSantis, and you lovely wife for putting up with your Job.
What a donut this guy is. He’s the global elite making more choices that are none of his gd business while pretending he’s a warrior in his own little psycho-drama. No one is trying to force anyone to eat lab meat.
Lab meat sounds bad to me too but I’d like to decide in the future if they can do something with it. Cattle farming – I did that for 15 years, 30 brood cows with bull and calves – fits some environments, but it also is an incredible user of resources in world with 8 billion people.
Left wing trash would love nothing more than to force their anti meat beliefs onto the entire population! Thank God the voters of the Red State of Florida voted for a principled man instead of a left wing pos!
You are free to decide, move your good for nothing rear end to a blue dump where your idiotology is preferred! You, nor your ilk will be missed!
Doofus, I ran a cattle ranch here singe handed with my wife and kids(30 brood cows, mixed breeds but mostly Herefords, Charlais, Angus with Angus bull – their small heads mean fewer birthing problems – and calves) for 15 years and almost certainly been here longer than you. Castrated the bull calves ever year, grew the rye every winter, cut hay 3 times in summer/fall, and know what that’s all about.
The only one forcing their BS on others is our ignorant puny governor. But hey, you and your kind apparently like being told what to do by the guys in Tallahassee. Personally, I prefer freedom. Try it you dumb a.s
No, it was you degenerates that wanted thugs in dc, along with the county and city scum forcing their idiotology onto the entire population! Sucks for you and you ilk, we will not comply or acquiesce to your pathetic, government thug needy lifestyle! Conservatives vote for less government and to be left the he(( alone! you degenerates vote for massive, wasteful good for nothing authoritarian wannabe scum that believe citizens should be slaves to government/elected parasites!
Jazzy us back and trolling Desantis again
You gotta be f’ing kidding me. This is what our esteemed Gov. Rhonda is signing into law?? What a waste of time.
Anything that he does that pisses on the beliefs of you wastes is good! move your anti freedom rear end to a blue dump!
If I can’ t see the beef from start to finish i don’t it. I don’t eat store bought meat because most comes from overseas (China/Venezuela) and has too many chemicals. I much rather see it raised, what it is fed, how it is slaughtered and processed. My other source if red meat is venison. That I can see, feed, harvest, and process myself.
Well, according to the Governor, George Soros was on his way here with a bunch of thugs to force feed you lab rat meat until he stopped them.
Whew, close call, huh?
So much for the “free market”, where consumers make their own choices. “Big Ron” has made the decision for you.
Feel free to move to a blue dump where they will tax you into the poor house pay for their wants and the wants of others and force you to do exactly what the elected trash want you to do! you will not be missed!
The only ones here advocating for forcing Floridians to do what he wants are you and the governor.
The left wing scum in Alachua county/ CoG try everything they can to force their stupidity into everyone, thankfully we have a Governor that will step on their whittle nuggets if they try overstepping! The worst the scum can get away with is not paving our rural rodes in a timely manor, we say that’s fine we will buy big Diesels and SUVs as a middle finger right back to them!
Roads
I thought FD was a computer!
Confirmed!
Sucks for you, you are wrong again! 45 year old, freedom loving, anti leftist American! 🇺🇸
Easy algorithms yield really weak responses.
Confirmed!
I’m curious to see if this holds up to legal challenge.
1/2 his BS doesn’t, but hey, he got the press he wanted and the photo shoot.
