I think he’s ranting about lab grown meat. Similar to green energy posing an existential threat to fossil fuels, lab grown meat potentially poses an existential threat to the ranching industry, which is why republican politicians have been rallying to preemptively ban it, such as DeSantis did in Florida.


Its in its infancy now, but as a technology that can be invested and improved upon, its only going to get cheaper as time goes on. And that’s a GOOD thing. It means cheaper nutrition and food for people and potentially major reduction in agricultural gas emissions. 


Banning and shying away from new technology only dampens our long term economic prospects. China isn’t going to hesitate to invest in this. The only thing banning it will do is put us behind the curve, so that when the technology does mature, we’ll either have to pay a premium to access it, such as cheap Chinese solar and EVs, or it’ll just become part of the black market as distributors smuggle in cheaper lab-grown meat to retailers.

Protecting antiquated special interests only creates crisis.
