Missouri lawmakers are considering banning the sale of lab-grown meat in the state through a series of House bills, including HB 2769 sponsored by State Rep. Brad Pollitt. Pollitt argues that the ban would protect the state's agriculture industry, which contributes significantly to the economy. He believes that lab-grown meat could pose a competitive threat to traditional livestock meat in the future. Other lawmakers have also introduced similar bills, but no hearings have been scheduled yet.
