Good. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Legislature turn their ‘anti-woke’ agenda on lab-grown meat-Fast Company
Florida’s Republican leadership has voted to kill cultivated meat, the burgeoning industry that grows animal cells in bioreactors to mimic the taste and texture of real meat. Though it would be the first state to outlaw the practice, similar bills are moving through other red statehouses. While prominent companies in the space say they’re unconcerned for business in the immediate term, they’re still worried it could stymie innovation, investment, and ultimately progress on reducing the tons of greenhouse gas emissions caused by mass animal farming.
More than one million people die in traffic accidents globally each year. Overnight, governments could solve this entirely man-made problem by reducing speed limits everywhere to 3 miles an hour, but we’d laugh any politician who suggested it out of office.

Luckily I drink my coffee black. The ESG Lobby Wants You To Fight Racism With Oat Milk-Real Clear Markets
PETA is drawing up the troops against Starbucks, in a war it seems intent on fighting by supergluing its activists’ hands to cafe counters. In addition to such Selma-esque practices, however, the animal rights nonprofit is also taking the fight to Starbucks through corporate pathways. In a shareholder proposal submitted ahead of the coffee empire’s annual meeting Wednesday, PETA laid out the case against Starbucks in clear terms—perhaps too clear. “Consumers have soured on cow’s milk,” PETA wrote in the proposal. “Personal health and environmental concerns are… driving people away from dairy.”
