Governor Greg Abbott has signed a new law banning the sale of lab-grown meat statewide—citing major health concerns and a firm commitment to protecting Texas ranchers and the state’s proud, traditional meat industry.
In 2023, Biden’s Department of Agriculture gave the green light to the nation’s first lab-grown chicken—meat manufactured from chicken cells in a laboratory bioreactor, no farms or natural processes involved.
Supporters, including billionaire investor Bill Gates, claim lab-grown meat is the future: a solution to climate change, disease, and environmental destruction. But behind the shiny sales pitch lies a deeper agenda—one that replaces real food with synthetic substitutes and puts control of the food supply into the hands of tech billionaires and unelected bureaucrats.
Critics aren’t buying it. In states like Texas, where ranching is more than an industry—it’s a way of life—lawmakers are pushing back, citing threats to public health, food sovereignty, and rural economies.
Because when meat is no longer raised, but “engineered”, the question isn’t just what’s on your plate—it’s who gets to decide.
“This ban is a massive win for Texas ranchers, producers, and consumers,” said Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller. “Texans have a God-given right to know what’s on their plate, and for millions of Texans, it better come from a pasture, not a lab. It’s plain cowboy logic that we must safeguard our real, authentic meat industry from synthetic alternatives.”
Texas is not the first US to legislate against Bill Gates’ lab-grown meat products. Florida and Alabama have passed similar laws, with many states set to follow suit with legislation in the pipeline to protect citizens.
Violations of the new Texas law, which goes into effect in September, could result in a felony charge and/or a fine of up to $25,000.
