Italy is the first nation in the world to be safe from the social and economic risks of synthetic food
more like the only nation to consider all cultivated meat a problem and prohibit it instead of regulating it.
social and economic risks of synthetic food
yeah 2 things humans just will never solve for, better shut it down. shut it all down.
prohibit it instead of regulating it.
It’s like 90% of Italy’s mindset 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
(Really tho, if we start regulating stuff there would be shit rules)
Similar thing happening Romania too, it’s disheartening but in a country where the meat industry was already hit hard I can understand the economic reasons behind it, but that doesn’t mean I’m a fan of it.
Of course a lot of people are also just afraid of anything synthetic and “unnatural”, falling into the same category as GMOs.
Well that’s understandable. I too want my meat to have been grown in its own shit and be pumped full of antibiotics and let’s not forget the secret incredient: cruelty.
Lab-grown meat is equated to synthetic ingredients and ultra-processed foods which are known to raise health problems (but are not banned, not all additives at least and not everywhere).
Considering how politics goes these days, the producers of cultivated meat just hadn’t a grip on the ministry as strong as the farmer lobby. No ideological or public health reason whatsoever. And it’s not Italy, it’s just politics and business everywhere.
Today it’s Italy’s turn, maybe tomorrow someone else will be on the hot seat.
