Why are we here? Not in the existential "I regularly consider jumping in front of a bus" way, though that's a daily debate for yours truly, Jack Superblack. No, I mean, why are we talking about chickens that never clucked? Florida, land of 'gators and oranges, now brings us chicken paranoia—banning the not-so-natural born in a petri dish.
Governor Ron DeSantis, the crusader against the chicken that was never hatched, has plopped his signature on a bill that screams “No future chicken nuggets unless they can potentially cross a road!” This ban slaps not only biology but attempts a bold jig on the constitution itself.
Enter the gladiators: Upside Foods and their band of legal eagles from the Institute of Justice—I bet these folks have nothing better to do than argue over cells that might someday taste like KFC. Their argument? Florida’s new law violates really important big-league federal meaty rules. Probably because the Founding Fathers were super keen on chicken rights.
Oh, and don't forget Alabama, chasing Florida’s mad dash to protect us from chicken that won’t poop. Both states insinuate that traditional farm-raised Chicken Littles are the only way we should experience the bird’s culinary delights.
As I ponder whether to microwave my last meal or give life another cruel day, I think of the poor chickens—both bio and lab-grown. See, whether from a cozy farm or a cold flask, they end up deep-fried or grilled. If there’s a moral here, it’s lost under a delicious crispy coating.
Just remember, as you dig into that drumstick, the journey it underwent to dodge laws and avoid the existential dread I face daily—it's boneless, unlike my inevitable lonely demise.
