I didn't say they can't eat it - obviously they can. The post I replied to specifically called out that they were sticking with meat because humans hadn't evolved to eat plant-based or lab-grown meat, and then implied their n

Can we assume that? And if we can, can we assume that the kinds of problems lab-grown meat has are the same problems as factory farms?

Yes. The constitution doesn't include Section 230 either. Other laws besides the constitution also regulate the activities of privately owned companies. This doesn't have anything to do with the government not being able to abridg
