Italy Bans Synthetic Meat, Fish, and Dairy to ‘Protect Our Culture and Our Tradition’

Italy's right-wing government has backed a bill that would ban laboratory-produced meat and other synthetic foods, highlighting Italian food heritage and health protection.
If the proposals go through, breaking the ban would attract fines of up to €60,000 (£53,000).
Francesco Lollobrigida, who runs the rebranded ministry for agriculture and food sovereignty, spoke of the importance of Italy's food tradition.
The farmers' lobby praised the move.
But it was a blow for some animal welfare groups, which have highlighted lab-made meat as a solution to issues including protecting the environment from carbon emissions and food safety.
Coldiretti and other agriculture lobbies have collected half a million signatures in recent months calling for protection of "natural food vs synthetic food", and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is among those who have signed.
"We could only celebrate with our farmers a measure that puts our farmers in the vanguard, not just on the issue of defending excellence... but also in defending consumers," she told a "flash mob" organised by Coldiretti outside her office in Rome.
The proposed bill came hard on the heels of a series of government decrees banning the use of flour derived from insects such as crickets and locusts in pizza or pasta.
Smart move by the Italians.

It’s not “synthetic”, it is “trans food” that identifies as meat / fish / dairy.

""OMG, Monsanto and their GMO's are going to destroy the world!"
"Hey, can we ban meat and make it in a lab?"
Progressives.

Can the Sicilians at least stop selling horse meat? Just seems wrong.

no. Your terms are not acceptable. We like real meat.

Every time I heard Gates go on about 'synthetic meats'. I always envision headlines a few years later that the meats cause cancer or some longterm effect.

I'm sure I'm not the first to ever mention it, but does anyone else find it funny how libs pretend to value the "natural order" of things when it comes to Mother Earth and mythical nonsense like the healing powers of stones; meanwhile, the "natural order" of humans eating the real food that's found in nature and understanding X and Y chromosomes--the absolute most basic construct of being a natural human being--is completely shunned and flipped on its head?
"muh nature"
Marijuana is a plant that Mother Nature put here for us to smoke, bruh. No you can't eat that animal that Mother Nature put here.

I may have mentioned on this board already but when I was a kid there was a small local grocery store in my neiborhood that sold horse meat for crawfish and crab bait.

Italy has the best food on the planet, and this is exactly what's wrong with the American diet. Good for them.

It's not just Italy. You can get horse meat at the Viktualienmarkt in Munich. Makes great fajitas.

I think it should be taken off the shelf until studies some more. Seems more like a drug or supplement than a food.

Fun fact about Gates, his favorite food is cheeseburgers. Not the beyond meat kind either.
