Ever wonder what Nebraska’s governor was talking about when he proposed a ban on “lab-grown meat?” @SaraGentzler did, and her story explains what it is and demystifies some of short-term threat to ranchers and livestock industry. Also fascinating: A lot of ag groups oppose a ban.
New at FFP: Would you eat a burger made from cow cells over a regular hamburger? It’s a question at the heart of a debate over whether to ban “lab-grown meat.” Some Nebraska ranchers aren’t on board with a ban. Read more here 👉
