The Florida Legislature got an unlikely shout-out earlier this month. China Weekly, a Chinese language publication, mentioned a Florida bill that would ban the sale and manufacturing of cultivated meat, also sometimes referred to as lab-grown meat.

Israeli and Russian scientists cultured the tiny piece of beef from stem cells while aboard the International Space Station, 248 miles above the Earth's surface. Cow cells were harvested back on our planet and blasted to the station where they they were grown into muscle tissue using a special 3D printer. Run by Aleph Farms, a food firm that grows cultivated beef steaks, the experiment took place on September 26 within the Russian segment of the space station. Researchers said the project was carried out to show how lab-grown meat can be cultivated in tough conditions, with minimal resources. "We...
