Defending Our Farms or Funding Fake Meat? 🥩🌾
South Dakota's agricultural heritage is on the line. In a recent exclusive interview on Northeast Radio SD, Representatives Julie Auch and Josephine Garcia sounded the alarm on the rise of cell-cultivated "fake meat" and the legislative battle over HB 1077.
According to the statements, did you know that a multinational corporation actively investing in lab-grown proteins recently received over $38 million in state taxpayer grants from the South Dakota Future Fund? While the science behind bioreactors and cultivated cells is strictly FDA-approved, many local ranchers are asking a much simpler question: Why are we prioritizing corporate biomanufacturing over our traditional family farms?
We have a right to know what’s on our plates and exactly where our tax dollars are going.
