Alabama Retail noted in a report: ‘under Act No. 2024-252, [signed into law by Governor Kay Ivey], violations would be a Class C misdemeanor. The food safety permit of a food sales establishment could be suspended or revoked upon conviction of the owner or an employee. Civil penalties for food service establishments would range from $100 to $10,000, according to the bill’s fiscal note.’
The bill also allows state ‘governmental entities or institutions of higher education to research the production of cultivated food products.’
The ban will begin on October 1st.
This comes after Florida just recently also banned the sale and production of lab-grown meats as well. Governor Ron DeSantis said after the bill was signed:
What we’re protecting here is the industry against acts of man, against an ideological agenda that wants to finger agriculture as the problem, that views things like raising cattle as destroying our climate.
These will be people who will lecture the rest of us about things like global warming — they will say that, you know, you can’t drive an internal combustion engine vehicle, they’ll say that agriculture is bad. Meanwhile, they’re flying to Davos in their private jets and they’re living like they would ever want to live.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Good for ‘Bama. I wish the rest of this country would outlaw it, but it’s certainly better than nothing.
The fight is not yet over, and the elites pushing this slop will not relent, so stay vigilant as we continue to monitor this trend.
[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 1 Timothy 4:1-3
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

South is called the Bible belt for a reason. The buckle may currently be a bit tarnished, but it’s still in tact.
