Yep, innovation shouldn't be blocked just to protect old interests. What happens if labgrown meat replaces traditional farming?
Right now, anyone can raise animals—even a few chickens or cows—with little money or tech. That's how small farmers, rural families, and backyard producers have fed themselves for centuries. It's about independence, not just food. It's about control over your own livelihood.
Lab-grown meat is different. It needs expensive tech, sterile labs, patents, and big investors. If it becomes the main source of meat, only a few corporations will control the whole system.
Worse, future laws could ban personal animal farming—citing environment or health reasons—and make lab meat the only legal option. Suddenly, you can't raise your own food anymore. You can only buy it from a company.
That's not progress. That's a takeover. We're trading decentralized, accessible food production for a centralized, corporate-controlled model most people can't join.
We shouldn't stop innovation. But we should make sure it doesn't erase the ability of ordinary people to grow their own food. Regulation isn't about protecting tradition; it's about protecting choice, fairness, and food sovereignty.
Let innovation thrive, but not at the cost of our freedom to feed ourselves.
