    The best way to fight back against this is to make lab grown meat so cheap that it is uneconomical to compete with it. Hit them in the bottom line and they’ll be hurting.

      That’s how it would work in an actual free market - the thing Republicans pretend they support. But…

      Months in jail and thousands of dollars in fines and legal fees—those are the consequences Alabamians and Arizonans could soon face for selling cell-cultured meat products that could cut into the profits of ranchers, farmers, and meatpackers in each state.

      The point is precisely to prevent anyone being able to compete with lab-grown meat, no matter how cheap it might otherwise be.
