Does Blumenthal actually want to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions?
I was protesting outside Senator Blumenthal’s Hartford office today, calling on him to do the right thing and support increased funding for cultivated-meat research, as many of his Democratic colleagues already have.
If Blumenthal actually cared about the environment, this would be a no-brainer for him. Cultivated meat requires a fraction of the greenhouse-gas emissions to produce that raising livestock does.
Like so many members of the establishment wing of the Democratic Party, Blumenthal seems incapable of defending existing progressive gains, let alone fighting for new ones. Perhaps he would benefit from a left-wing primary challenge.
Anyway, if you engage in a picket of your elected officials in support of cellular agriculture, send an email and description to JonHoch87@gmail.com. You may be featured on this website.
