    The Italian government is set to ban fake meat and other synthetic food items in a bid to preserve its traditional cuisine.

    The impending ban came to fruition, thanks to the efforts of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, whose populist coalition government backed legislation prohibiting lab-grown meat. Companies that sell meat analogs could face fines of up to €60,000 ($65,412) if the proposal becomes law.

    Meloni’s pushback against fake meats followed a petition spearheaded by the agricultural forum Coldiretti. The said petition denouncing the proliferation of synthetic meat received more than 500,000 signatures. It was then forwarded to the prime minister’s office, which responded positively to the development.

    The Italian government reiterated its support for the nation’s farmers and the traditional Mediterranean diet and emphasized its opposition to lab-grown meats that the globalists are promoting. Supporters gathered outside Chigi Palace in the capital Rome, the official residence of the prime minister.

    “We could only celebrate with our farmers and the president of Coldiretti a measure that puts Italy at the forefront, also on the subject of consumer protection,” Meloni addressed the crowd. “We are linked to the fact that every citizen who eats here … in the homeland of excellence can have the same opportunities to consume food of which [they know] exactly where [it] comes from.”

    Italian Agriculture Minister Francesco Lollobrigada told the Il Messaggero newspaper that the law will put Italy “at the forefront” of the movement against fake food. He said: “They are poor quality foods. We protect health and the environment.” (Related: A massive backlash is building against fake meat products like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods.)
