What's In YOUR Food?
If you eat meat, eggs, milk, or vegetables in America, you need to know about Missouri House Bill 1653.
It hasn’t passed yet… but it’s even stronger than most people realize.
Here’s exactly what the bill does (straight from the text, no spin):
- Completely bans the sale of lab-grown “cell-cultured” meat in the state
→ Growing animal cells in a bioreactor and calling it “chicken” or “beef”? Illegal to sell in Missouri, period. (Only exception: legitimate research that never reaches a plate.) - Forces labeling on any food that comes from animals or crops exposed to mRNA or gene-therapy technology
→ If a cow, pig, chicken, fish, or soybean plant was ever injected with or fed anything using mRNA tech (or similar gene-altering methods), the final food product must carry a clear disclosure label — same size print as the ingredients list. → No label = misbranded = can’t be sold. - Gives Missouri the power to inspect and test livestock and crops for these substances
→ Even if the federal government says it’s fine. - Makes violations a crime
→ Up to $1,000 fine and a year in jail (criminal misdemeanor). → Plus up to $10,000 civil fines per violation. - Declares an “emergency” for immediate effect
→ The moment it’s signed — no 90-day delay.
Why does a bill this aggressive even exist?
Because a growing number of farmers, ranchers, and everyday eaters no longer trust that “new tech = safe tech” when it comes to the food supply. They want to know:
- Is that steak from a cow… or from a vat-grown cells?
- Was that chicken ever injected with experimental genetic material?
Right now, the answer is almost always “you’re not allowed to know.”
Missouri is saying: Not in our state.
Whether you think lab-grown meat is the future or a dystopian science project… whether you’re worried about mRNA in livestock or think it’s a conspiracy theory… one thing should be undeniable:
You have the right to know what’s on your plate.
HB 1653 isn’t law yet, but it has serious momentum, and similar bills are popping up in statehouses across the country. The tide is turning toward radical transparency in food.
So share this. Talk about it at the dinner table. Ask your grocery store manager, your butcher, your legislator.
Because once people realize they’ve been kept in the dark about something this basic, they tend to get very loud, very fast.
Missouri is listening. Will your state be next?
