Yes I agree, lab grown meat destroys local farms that have been producing real healthy meat for decades. We also don't know what is in the meat that billionaires create.

 @BDHG9YJ from North Carolina  agreed…1mo1MO

Key Reasons to Be Skeptical about lab-grown meat "Naturalness" and Disgust: Many consumers remain uncomfortable with the idea of eating meat grown in a laboratory setting, often referred to as the "ick factor".Scalability and Cost: While improving, cultivated meat is still very expensive to produce at scale. Many experts believe it will be years before it is cost-competitive with traditional meat. Energy Consumption: If the energy used to run the bioreactors comes from fossil fuels, the environmental benefit may be lower than expected, with some studies suggesting it could even have a high carbon footprint.

Not only would it hurt the network that distributes meat but there are undoubtedly unknown side effects that would come from lab grown meat. I could never willing consume meat grown in a lab.

 @BDHL2MV from Utah  agreed…1mo1MO

no lab grown meat is not near as good for you as a fresh rocky mountain elk would be. And the government puting out the lone star tick to give us alpha gal disease just so we can eat their lab grown meat is not okay.

 @BDHGSVTDemocrat from Colorado  agreed…1mo1MO

Lab Grown Meat will effect small ranches and effect the system we have in place to help ranchers make money.

 @BDHJZY8Independent  from New York  agreed…1mo1MO

I agree, not only is lab-grown meat not good for you, it's dangerous in context to people losing their jobs and harmful to our bodies.

 @BDHJTDR from Michigan  agreed…1mo1MO

I do not like lab-grown meat or anything that is grown in a lab. Humans should not eat lab-grown food.

 @BDHGWG5 from Illinois  agreed…1mo1MO

america has depended on natural grown meat forever and its been healthy and not questionable forever.

 @BDK9VYR from Illinois  agreed…1mo1MO

I agree with the author! Lab grown meat is NOT meat. Although it has some nutrients you are not seeing the impavct on your body that real true farm grown meat has. Also you are replacing agriculture with robots!!!

 @BDHHG9Y  from Georgia  agreed…1mo1MO

The Earth is telling us something. You can’t paint over rust. If you just keep producing to the overcapaci-tized population, there will be other issues as well. It’s not just food we’re running out of.

 @BDHH2FV  from Montana  agreed…1mo1MO

I agree, yes it would take over peoples jobs, but at the same time it also kinda disgusting to think that meat we are eating is being made from labs.

 @BDHHNYQRepublican from Arkansas  agreed…1mo1MO

that **** is nasty and fake. real meat that is farm to table with no chemicals or supplements is the way to go.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.
