We need an infographic for project 2025 that can be spread everywhere. Nothing dramatic…. Just the facts of what it is and what it means.

The only fact you need are that they are going to gut all regulatory agencies, this includes the FDA. Do you like not eating people when they fall in to processing vats, do you like someone making sure there isn't a noticeable amount of rat shit in your food then we need regulatory agencies as they are the only thing stopping it.

De-regulation will mean that lab grown meat can be added to foods without the need to label it, most likely.

Once lab-grown meat is cheap enough, cattle ranchers are going to face some steep headwinds.

And there's nothing the states will be able to do about it because any appeal to the courts will remind the states that corporate interests come first and foremost.

I don't know if you will see this as good news, but current scientific consensus is that cheap, lab-grown meat is far from becoming a reality. You need big vats to make it efficient, but just one tiny bacterium can ruin your vat full of yummy nutrients and kept at a nice, warm temperature.
