Italy is the first nation in the world to be safe from the social and economic risks of synthetic food
more like the only nation to consider all cultivated meat a problem and prohibit it instead of regulating it.
prohibit it instead of regulating it.
It’s like 90% of Italy’s mindset 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
(Really tho, if we start regulating stuff there would be shit rules)
‘In defence of health, of the Italian production system, of thousands of jobs, of our culture and tradition, with the law approved today, Italy is the first nation in the world to be safe from the social and economic risks of synthetic food,’
Health? Yeah, get back to me the next time there’s an outbreak of mad cow disease, swine flu, or bird flu and say that to my face.
Jobs? The synthetic meat isn’t going to make itself, and there will always be a market for “organic” meat in any case.
Tradition? The human race’s oldest and most persistent fallacy. The democracy of the dead.
This is shortsighted. This guys sounds exactly like the idiot lawmakers here in America who said solar panels and electric cars will never catch on, so what’s the point in investing in them now?
Fake news. There’s a proposal from March, it is not a law. And it’s so stupid that it bans production, not import (just to fuck over an already stalling economy)
But don’t spread fake news.
Edit: found article on sole24ore. You are right and our government is a bunch of retarded.
Edit2: https://www.linkiesta.it/2023/12/mattarella-legge-carne-coltivata-servira-prima-lok-dellue/ This article says that our beloved president Mattarella did not sign it and sent it to Brussel for review.
BBC article states “Italian MPs have voted to back a law banning the production, sale or import of cultivated meat or animal feed, in what the right-wing government calls a defence of Italian tradition.”
I’m Italian, no news is speaking about it. Last articles are from 28-29 March talking about a proposal, so not yet law.
It’s a law now, albeit probably it’s not really applicable and the EU will give us trouble the first time a European company appeals, because it limits the EU market and has not been accepted preventive by the EU.

Dio cane che ritardo mentale.
Non ho trovato articoli comunque, grazie
It’s even worse, the government approved the law but they didn’t notify it to EU neither sent it to Mattarella to sign it, so it could not be enforced… Retards

Not even the first time that they don’t know the right procedure to do one of the most basic stuff of their job
All of these links say yes, it’s a law that the sale and production of synthetic meat is banned in Italy.

We’re a sad country
Please, non-Italians, pay attention: that has nothing to do with Italian cuisine, no chefs, traditional groups or whatsoever said anything about cultivated meat. And no dumb scientist said anything either. It’s just some bigot, retrograde minister of ours.
Is that what the people want, or some big key to power that stands to inevitably lose out? If other countries transition out of meat livestock isn’t it pointless to handicap yourself?
They’ve cited health, yet I can’t seem to find the health risk argument. Other than that, standard Italian politics where representatives are changed quite often.
“health” was the answer to the question that followed “what do you mean we have to provide a citation?”
Italy you say? The one EU member that has repeatedly used its power to lock down ag requirements and protections for it own foods for the other member states?
The only upside is that gabbagol is delicious, and who would want to fuck that up?
It locks down names. You can produce parmisan, you can’t label it “parmigiano reggiano”.
I upvoted the post so others see it, but I do not like that they’re banning it. That’s poopy garbage ass.
No spicy cultivated meatball
Excellent! I hope the rest of the EU follows suit
L take
I think its a good thing. Cultivated “meat” is just a giant cancer grown in laboratory. Imagine what health risks eating cancer could bare…
I disagree with that statement generally, but anyway, you can’t catch cancer. You can catch a disease that causes cancer, but eating cancer itself wouldn’t give you cancer. You can however catch prion disease… And these can live in real flesh/meat you get from a shop.
Also, there will be ground up cancer in processed meat. I guarantee it. You don’t think farm animals get cancer?
This dude doesn’t even know what cancer is lmfao
