    This isn’t exactly a head-of-lettuce issue here, but how long is this ban realistically going to be tolerated? 5 years? 10 years? The quality and availability of meta-meat are only going to go up, and the price is only going to go down relative to traditional meat. I can’t imagine that in 20 years, one generation, that people would tolerate a ban such as this.

      Til the next government, then it will be reversed.

      Friendly reminder that the meat will still be sold, cause due to EU they can’t stop that, so the only thing this law does is to stop italian companies to enter the market. smort

        banning the production, sale or import

        Even importing and selling those products is illegal.

              It will. National law cannot go against EU law (or the Common Market). Unless you mean that Italy’s going to exit the EU for this.

                Lab-grown meat won’t available to the general retail market anytime soon, 15-20 years can pass before anything of what we’re discussing about happens. I don’t even expect society to exist in 20 years, let alone the EU… But let’s wait and see. In any case the current government has plenty of time to destroy the country 😅
