    it is sad how the lobbying of old evil industries like tobacco and animal-killing can convince the politicians and the public to outlaw and demonize their less-evil competition like vaping and lab-grown meat to make sure to hold on to the status quo.

    but why write more than 7000 words to communicate a simple point (lab-grown meat was promised 1-2 decades ago but failed to arrive and won't arrive in the foreseeable future)?

      It doesn't seem like there's this finished product ready to go that's just cost-prohibitive because of malicious regulation.

      So at this point it's not even clear that anyone is actually losing their grip on the status quo...
