But I don't know if you heard about this thing. I was actually just looking it up again because I was trying to find what states banned it, but the lab grown meat, so lab-grown meat I think has recently been passed to be able to be sold and sourced. And eight states have now banned it temporarily blocked it, according to black millionaires underscore on Instagram. matter of fact, let me see if I can if I can share so that Malcolm: Yeah, it's my first time hearing about it, boss. Thomas: But you haven't heard about the lab grown meat or like like the states that banned it? Malcolm: I mean, I I've heard about it. I didn't know like the actual like what states of I haven't heard anything more than I I've heard about it. I guess I just haven't really read into it though. Thomas: let me see. Can you see it? Malcolm: Isn't this what doesn't Chick fil A do this now? Light with their meat? Thomas: Yeah, I think chickful in I don't know if it was lab grow it was something.

If it's clean protein, like if it's actually just like straight, Chemistry, so like it's everything your body needs and it has the right texture and everything. In theory, it might not be bad for you, but it's it's this takes process to a whole nother level. This is like process from the beginning.

Like, and and I've heard of people like who visited other countries or have family in other countries. They say, The chicken fresh off their uncle's yard or whatever tastes better than any chicken you would get from the store. So like the way the animal lived impacts the quality of the the protein.
