“It’s pretty clear to us that the governor and the government have been misinformed,” Valeti said. “And all we’re asking for is a chance to have a direct conversation and say, ‘this is proven science, this is proven safety.’”

Why the fuck would you open any type of business in Florida that deals with anything coming close to science?

Like, no shit the state is going to randomly pass laws in direct opposition of scientific facts, they’ve been doing it for decades.

Tourism. It’s not so much operating there, but they absolutely want to be able to sell there.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


California-based Upside Foods hosted dozens of guests Thursday evening at a rooftop reception in the city’s Wynwood neighborhood, known for its street art, breweries, nightclubs and trendy restaurants.

Earlier this year, Florida and Alabama banned the sale of cultivated meat and seafood, which is grown from animal cells.

Another guest, Skyler Myers, agreed about the texture being different when eating a piece of meat by itself but said it just seemed like normal chicken when he ate the tostada.

He also noted that the meat his company produces is not coming from a lab but from a facility more closely resembling a brewery or a dairy processing plant.

“We’re hopeful that if lawmakers can’t change their mind and turn things around back to an avenue of progress that the courts will step in and make that clear,” Edgett said.

State Sen. Jay Collins, a Republican who sponsored the Florida bill, noted the legislation doesn’t ban research, just the manufacturing and sale of cultivated meat.


The original article contains 827 words, the summary contains 164 words. Saved 80%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
