Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been accused of ignoring Republican 'basic values' after he signed a law banning lab-grown meat, also known as cultured meat, throughout his state this week.Speaking to Newsweek, Didier Toubia, the CEO of Israel based lab-grown meat company Aleph Farms, warned the move could harm investment into Florida and contradicts the stated GOP commitment to the free market.On Wednesday, DeSantis signed S.B.
During the interview, Toubia suggested Florida's ban on lab grown meat will result in lost investment opportunities that will now go to other states or countries.He said: 'If Florida is putting barriers to innovation in the state resources will be directed elsewhere...We believe innovation will happen and needs to be integrated beside conventional practices and will become complementary at some point in time.
