Tl;dr Chinese lab grown meat and plant based meat is potentially going to undermine the American factory farms in production and price.

The article even brings up how it’s better for the planet than clearing forests to grow crops to feed animals for meat. But at what cost?!?!?

Also the title was even more red scare-y when first published.

    I like how the original publishing editor made the headline Is Communist China Coming for Your Turkey, Too? but then the preview snippet just says China has excellent reasons... that have nothing to do with the United States. So comically disjointed.

      See I got pay walled the first time where the first paragraph was about “11 Republicans did yada yada yada about China’s X industry” so to the average Reddit/Facebook lib who reads the headline and move on, they get their China bad microdose, and even in the preview body it’s “Republicans did X” before the paywall hits for the tiny amount of yanks that click through. It feels engineered for Libs sitting through Thanksgiving with their MAGA family members by going in their phones.

      They do go in about how China’s initiative for food security and plant based/lab grown meat is a “holy grail” that’s ultimately better for the planet but the redditor had stopped reading way before that.
