Florida Politics reports:
Gov. Ron DeSantis apparently isn’t worried about votes from vegetarians, given comments in Bowling Green in which he wove a preemptive defense of meat during an attack on environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG).
“I know the Legislature is doing a bill to try to protect our meat. You need meat, OK? And we’re going to have meat in Florida. Like, we’re not going to have fake meat. Like, that doesn’t work. So we’re going to make sure to do it right.”
The Governor seemingly is endorsing a legislative push to ban so-called “cultivated meat,” which resides in larger agriculture bills in the House (HB 1071) and Senate (SB 1084).
