“This ban is a massive win for Texas ranchers, producers, and consumers,” Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller said in a statement following the bill’s passage. “Texans have a God-given right to know what’s on their plate, and for millions of Texans, it better come from a pasture, not a lab. It’s plain cowboy logic that we must safeguard our real, authentic meat industry from synthetic alternatives.”

Texas joins Indiana, Mississippi, Montana and Nebraska in enacting new laws this year; Alabama and Florida did so last year. In March, the Oklahoma House approved a similar bill that did not advance out of the Senate this session.

    You might wanna check out those property & income tax stats, etc. first, though pretty much every state founded by those seeking to evade the long arm of the gov’t back in the day is uniquely renowned. Just gotta find the place that makes the most sense for you. ✊🏼

      Absolutely. I’ve done research and already know some locations, been up there half a dozen times easy. I was supposed to already be out of my fucked up state and up there, but life got in the way.
