Lab-grown meat is getting clobbered in the political arena. Florida and Alabama recently banned the sale and manufacture of the experimental product.
At the same time, Iowa has drawn the line at the state’s youth: Earlier this month, Republican Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed legislation into law that bans lab-grown meat from school lunch programs.Despite the writings of Paul Krugman in The New York Times arguing this is a niche issue on the right, skepticism of lab-grown meat stretches across the political divide. Unlikely bedfellows such as Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Democratic Sen.
The bipartisanship is not surprising, given lab-grown meat’s poor marketing strategy, which alienates both sides of the political spectrum. Many Republicans understand the eco-argument is bogus. In fact, those in the lab-grown meat marketing department have it backward. An analysis from the University of California, Davis, finds the environmental footprint of making lab-grown meat could be 25 times as big as that of farm-raised protein. Why? Because producing it is extremely energy-intensive.
On the flip side of the coin, lab-grown meat doesn’t exactly feed into the organic, clean-eating movement embraced by many on the left, nor does it satisfy the vegan warriors. Creating lab-grown meat sounds more like mad science than a way to put food on the table.
