The Hungarian government bans artificial meat, elsewhere it is seen as salvation
The Hungarian government has engaged in another culture war, this time against artificial meat. According to the planned measure, Hungary would be the second country in the world to ban artificial meat. According to the government’s claim, this is aimed at protecting the rural lifestyle and traditions, while this innovative marketable technology is not yet available in the areas in question.
Agriculture Minister István Nagy emphasizes that the introduction of synthetic meat would disrupt traditions and culture, which could lead to rootlessness in the long term. According to the government, changes in the food industry can have unpredictable consequences for society.
The Hungarian government is planning a similar initiative not only at the domestic level, but also at the EU level for the Hungarian EU presidency. Although Hungary is not considered completely isolated in this field, the issue of artificial meat divides people elsewhere in Europe as well. The Italian government, especially under the leadership of Meloni, has already passed a similar law, banning artificial meat produced in the laboratory. According to the Italian Minister of Agriculture, artificial meat is a threat to traditional meat production, rural lifestyle and Italian identity.
