South Dakota has just introduced new laws that ban taxpayer money from being used to develop, promote, or purchase fake “meat” products such as lab-grown “beef” or insect-based “foods.”
Bill HB 1118 was introduced in the state’s House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee by Rep. Jana Hunt (R) on January 29.
The legislation has now been signed into law by Republican Gov. Larry Rhoden.
It comes amid a global push to flood the food supply with hyper-processed “synthetic” or “cultivated” products to replace real meat.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has invested heavily in lab-grown fake “meats,” while the globalist World Economic Forum (WEF) and United Nations (UN) have been pushing insect-based “foods.”
Meanwhile, Gates, the WEF, and the UN have also been leading efforts to demonize farmers and eliminate traditional farming to supposedly fight “climate change.”
In response to the laws in South Dakota, Hunt said:
“I’m grateful for the unanimous backing from my colleagues in both the House and Senate.
“As elected officials, it is our duty to serve the people of South Dakota and ensure responsible stewardship of their hard-earned tax dollars.”
Hunt also credited testimony from The Beef Initiative, a non-governmental organization that coordinates with local farms nationwide who champion food security through local access.
The new law comes into effect on July 1.
Rhoden has been in office since January 25, following the resignation of former Gov. Kristi Noem.
Noem left office to serve as President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary.
South Dakota is one of a growing number of states where the legislatures have taken steps to place restrictions on fake meat to protect their own animal agriculture interests, according to WATTPoultry.
Other states to do so include Florida, Alabama, Nebraska, Iowa, and Michigan.
It follows a nationwide pushback against the globalist-led campaign to pressure the public to consume fake “meat” products.
Florida and Alabama banned lab-grown meat for consumption.
Meanwhile, three others have proposed similar restrictions on the controversial 3D-printed “meat.”
Additionally, ten states now mandate the labeling of lab-grown “meat.”
However, the rest of the US has no regulations governing fake meat.
In January, Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen announced a new legislative proposal to ban lab-grown meat from being produced in or sold in stores across the Cornhusker State.
“It’s important we get on the offense so that Nebraska farmers and ranchers are not undermined,” Pillen told reporters at a news conference.
Following Trump’s return to the White House, the backlash to lab-grown meat is now expanding.
A growing number of states will issue proposed legislation to ban the science experiment “meat.”
Globalists like Gates and the WEF have pushed a dystopic nightmare across the world in their attempt to reset the global food supply.
This “vision” involves members of the general public being offered food supply that only includes insects and highly processed fake “meat,” “butter,” and “milk.”
Under the guise of “climate change,” Gates wants to crack down on farming and “work toward artificial meat.”
