Once more I find myself obliged to rise to the defense of The Great DeSanitizer (TGDS).
I know, it’s a dirty job, but somebody’s gotta do it.
People keep saying that TGDS doesn’t talk right. He’s tongue-tied. That he can’t string together a coherent sentence longer than “Stop woke!”
Personally, I think the guy’s a silver tongued devil.
Take his extremely cogent explanation for why we need to keep legalized marijuana out of Florida.
“I’ve gone to some of these cities that have had this everywhere, it smells, there’s all these things. I don’t want to be able to go walk in front of shops and have this. I don’t want every hotel to really smell.”
Nuff said.
And don’t get this guy started on fake meat.
He’s got a few choice words to say about that!
“You need meat, okay? We’re going to have meat in Florida. Like, we’re not going to have fake meat. Like, that doesn’t work.”
Seriously, he’d make Old Abe weep with envy. (If not for, you know, that Ford Theater incident.)
Of course TGDS wasn’t really talking about “fake” meat.
He was talking about “cultured” meat. Or lab-grown meat. Or meat derived without benefit of penning, slaughtering, butchering and such.
Swayed by TGDS’s sheer silver tongued devilishness, the Florida Legislature passed a bill to ban the sale of cultured meat in this state.
Never mind that the science and development of cultured meat is still so early in its infancy that it’ll likely be years (and years) before it’s widely available.
But you gotta strike while the branding iron’s hot.
Anyway, getting our meat in any but the old fashioned (i.e. polluting, wasteful and messy) way is unnatural. Ungodly even. It’s exactly what the coastal elite, science-worshiping, big city dwelling libtards want us to do.
Or maybe that’s not it at all.
As a recent article in The Hill puts it, DeSantis and other cultured meat critics “seem less concerned about insulting nature and creation than they are about protecting cattlemen from competition.’
The Hill continues: “As conventional meat consumption continues to rise around the globe, with the associated deforestation, skyrocketing emissions, and ravenous water use that comes with producing meat from animals, the search for sustainable alternatives is on…study after study shows we need to raise fewer animals for food if we want to feed humanity without destroying our planet in the process. Unsurprisingly, peer-reviewed life cycle analyses show that if cultivated meat startups succeed, they could dramatically slash the environmental footprint of meat production.”
But don’t get me wrong. The anti-Ron (to distinguished TGDS from the affable-Ron (me)) may be onto something here.
I mean, who of us wants to sink our teeth into a juice steak unless we can be assured that before it got to our plate it destroyed acres of rain forest, consumed rivers of water, produced tons of methane, suffered slow torture in cramped pens and finally met its end via a mechanized sledge-hammer blow before being skinned, gutted and packaged by overworked, underpaid (and maybe even undocumented and underaged) “processors”?
Gawd! It’d taste like sawdust without all of that…um…pre-seasoning?…marinating?
Yeah, that’s it. All that marinating.
Anyway, I’m glad that our Great DeSanitizer is carrying the water for Big Beef, Big Pork, Big Chicken and even Big Plant Based Meat-Like Stuff.
This is ‘merica! And we don’t hold with all of that science-based sorcery.
Explain it to ‘em good anti-Ron
