farming: banning plant based “meats”

Italy has a proposal before the E.U. to prohibit “using food or feed derived from cell cultures or tissues of vertebrate animals. If enacted, this would bar food and feed business operators from producing, selling, importing, or distributing cell-based products for consumption.” Italy also wants to restrict the labeling of products containing exclusively vegetable proteins.
