They should put a giant sign saying “this food contains fetal tissue” whenever he goes to eat out.
From the headline, the only question was, is this clown from Texas or Florida?  
It's Texas. 

Eating food with fetal tissue would also likely constitute cannibalism, which is typically frowned upon. 

Guess somebody saw one of those Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies and thought it was a documentary? >

Shoot. That was just Skeeter down the road. >

Don’t blame Skeeter. He ain’t done nothin’. >

What about making sure burgers don't contain centaur meat? I want legislators to ensure that my burgers are centaur-free! I don't want to be chowing down on a burger and then realize that a mythical half-man-half-horse was ground up in it! Why aren't legislators covering this issue that's totally real and completely not made up by me right now?!!!! >

... and Unicorn meat.  Don’t forget about that.  Unicorns are just magical, not magically delicious!!! >

Leprechauns, however, are magically delicious! Or have I been interpreting that commercial incorrectly? >

SOP

Fabricate or overblow an "issue".
Create legislation to "fix" the issue that actually just furthers the racist/misogynist/xenophobic agenda. >

Rinse and repeat so you don't have to actually fix anything to help people. >


...cannibalism, which is typically frowned upon.

So you're saying that there's a chance. >

You jest, but there's pretty much one case where cannibalism is regarded as acceptable and that is the one that involve the 'Custom of the Sea' after shipwrecks. So uh, a lot of technically-correct-is-the-best-kind-of-correct there but it is technically correct so, yeah, the FDA knows their common law on cannibalism. >

Well, there was also that one guy who made his friends tacos from his own amputated leg from a necessary surgery, but that was after ~~lots of~~ paperwork, ~~discussion with professionals, research into proper preparation, and after getting approval from reputable a medical association.~~
Edit: link to the story. I apparently misremembered much of the details. >

That was a crazy read.  Got to admire the guy. Thanks for the link! >

Those damn democrats and their… cannibalism? >

I love babies, bit I can't finish one all by myself. >

Wait, you don't have a freezer specifically for your leftover baby parts?  George Soros personally gifted me one for Christmas in 2021.  It even has my initials on it. >

I still haven't even gotten my check from him! >

They know that it's made up, but they want the law proposed so that people can point to the law as evidence that it's not made up.  After all, why would somebody try to pass a bill to ban it if it wasn't happening?
That's the bullshit this is spinning >

Next step, medications and vaccines that use fetal stem cells. You heard it here first. >

Used in production, or have had used in testing?  Because, if the latter, it's going to be a pretty long list that would include ibuprofen and acetaminophen. >

Companies use HEK293 cells for various purposes. These cells were initially isolated in 1973 from an aborted fetus and have been in continues use by labs since. 
So when Republicans see HEK293 use, they think companies are adding these cells into their products which to them means there's tiny arms and legs in products. So it explains why they are pushing for things like this. Either the politicians are fucking stupid, they believe their voters are that fucking stupid, or both. >

Both. It's both. I know alot of people who think they are really smart, but are really advantage or below. The problem that republicans didn't know about when they waged war on education is, there isn't anyone to teach them now at their private schools. So you now have the dumb leading the dumber. >

Lizard people sweating because they’re next 🙄 >

Nup. We have a plan to remove you pesky hu--laws >

Nup? That sounds lizardy… >

Nu sssir. >

What in the world is in that Texas Barbecue? >

It's bad enough that these crazy thoughts are out there and genuinely held by mentally ill people that are in dire need of intervention.
But when we have elected officials validating these deranged thoughts and dangerous conspiracy theories with time-wasting empty legislation it's taking it to a whole new level.
To the loons, this is all the proof they need that it's real. There's an actual proposal of legislation by some elected official in some state addressing the 'problem', so it must be real.
And these elected officials are either among those mentally ill or know their political life depends on them, and therefore continues to entertain them. >

This is deliberately being floated to help fuel the crazy conspiracy shit.
The idea being that they wouldn't be proposing a ban if they didn't have evidence that there was fetal tissue in food.  
It's planting propaganda seeds to drive anti-abortion messaging. >

... and pro-pogrom messaging. >

But what are they doing about the TOTALLY REAL DANGER of putting CRT in our food? >

Damn, knew there was something off with this Aborteos cereal. >

In hindsight, the 2nd trimester fetus marshmallows should have been a tip-off. >

The leaps and bounds of their imagination is baffling. >

Oh no...  What is Hillary going to eat now?  
/s if you didn't realized the reference.
"Hillary Clinton directly appeals to QAnon to stop claiming she drinks children’s blood: ‘It’s painful to me and my family’" >

I'd like a cheese pizza topped with aborted fetus tissue please. Extra fetus tissue as well.
(don't forget pizzagate) >

I only season my food with freshly harvested fetal tissue. >

It's a lot easier to battle make-believe problems than deal with real ones... >

Do I smell some projection cooking on the grill in Texas? >

It does mention "derived from research using human fetal tissue" as well, which gets pretty broad.  (I'm thinking about fetal cell lines used in certain vaccine research)
I wonder if they would then argue that if some animal benefitted from a vaccine that had used fetal cell lines at some point of its development and research that it would need to be given this stupid label. >

That's just basic homeopathy bullshit, isn't it? Might as well label everything with May Contain Traces Of Genghis Khan's Semen at that point. >

Not really. Their phrasing comes at this from two angles, one is basically "baby parts in in this product" (which would be your homeopathy angle, and wouldn't be a thing anyway since zero fetal cells are in the food already).
The other is more "someone killed a fetus at some point in order to make this". That doesn't mean fetal cells have to be potentially present in the result, just that at some point of the development history of the product, its supply chain, and dependencies, something relied on fetal cells at some point (ie, that if the fetal cells weren't involved, the product wouldn't exist as it is right now)
At least that's how I'm reading the text... >

What kind of sick projection is this now? >

Anything to distract from actual issues with food, like I dunno, microplastics, PFAS "forever chemicals", and so on.
I keep waiting for the 'thud' where they find they can't go any lower and all I hear is the rumble of a civilization collapsing. >

I guess this is January's "kid pissing in litter boxes during class" nonsense. >

So what they're saying is that Democrats eat aborted babies. That's the message to the GQP base.
These are not reasonable people. >

They cook the babies in those DC pizza ovens... >

Can we get microplasitcs, hormones, and antibiotics out of our food instead? >

Being stupid enough to believe there is bits of fetus in the food supply is what makes him a Republican.
This isn't ideology.  It's a fucking symptom. >

Is the issue that restaurants never put it in unless I show my illuminati card? I mean common courtesy to put in a little bit, not getting a big tip from me >

Conservatives' insatiable hatred of anyone not them continue to keep them mired in fopishness and tomfoolery. >

I mean, I guess I would be in favor of affected food being labeled as containing aborted fetal tissue.    If that was actually a thing. >

The GOP is coming after your baby back ribs! >

The sad part is Republican voters will think this is 100% real.  Fucking morons. >

How many abortions do Republicans thinks are happening, per day?  I've read headlines about Republicans claiming fetal tissue is used to general electricity (false, obviously) and now we're eating it (also false, obviously)?  
How many tons of aborted fetuses do they think are being generated in their state, daily?  It'd have to be a hell of a lot, for it to be cheap enough to sneak into food products.  They aren't talking specialty crème-de-la-crème products here, now with 5% more fetus.   They're talking about fetuses being used as filler in an otherwise baby-free product.  
That's a lot of aborted fetus.  Just an insane amount.  
Same goes with using it as a fuel source.  Literal tons would be needed, and it would make a terrible fuel source.  It's wet, for a start.  
Where are the huge transports crammed to the brim with aborted fetuses?  The massive stockpiles of human remains, portioned out for human consumption and/or energy creation purposes?  
Absurd.  Seriously this is "Elvis Spotted Marrying Bat-boy on Alien Spaceship with Marilyn Monroe" levels of crazy. >

It's about 2800 abortions per day, with an average 9 week weight of 45 grams... I'm too tired to do math >

we believe our blood libel.... now time to action
pretty sure thats the goal >

Are these some of the same people who receive communion by consuming the body and blood of Christ? >

Pepsi is people >

Most Republican politicians would be far more gainfully employed writing science fiction stories for comic books. >

Wow. What a fucking uneducated waste of space. People voted for this moron. Put your effort into something worthwhile. This country is fucked. >

So this claim isn’t “entirely made up” as much as it is “entirely overblown and misconstrued”
Technically, one company that is not even in operation anymore, Senomyx, patented some artificial flavorings that they used HEK293 cells to develop. The HEK293 cells were used to develop a "proprietary taste receptor-based assay system” that would allow them to accurately make artificial flavorings and effectively reverse engineered the human palate. These cells, like many research cells, originally come from an aborted fetus kidney in 1970. 
At no time have these cells been used AS the additive, simply in the research leading up to these additives…. And they are LITERALLY A CLUMP OF CELLS, who’s culture has been around longer than most people in this thread.
But for anyone wondering who came up with this claim - this is why >

Made up issues are the only ones Republicans want to solve, ever >

To pretend to govern you need pretend issues. >

Not reading this and hiding it from my feed. I can’t do this anymore >

Oh so now the Republicans are going after Arby's? >

It won't be long until the Republicans start claiming trans or drag queens are grooming fetuses so they can grind them up and sprinkle then on their meals. >

Clutching at strawmen.  They are really desperate to bring unity to the party. >

I do recall a joke during an episode of CSI where some of the cast went to go eat at a BBQ joint in the middle of the desert.  When they get the, the place is closed down and bordered up, with a sign from the health department about how a cook was a serial killer and "WARNING: YOUR HOT DOGS MAY BE CONTAMINATED WITH HUMAN". >

More gruel for the mindless minions that believe anything their politigods feed to them. >

they are trying to distract of their planned cuts to social security with some dumb ass culture war >

The percentage of Loch Ness Monster meat should be listed on food product labels. We do not know the effect of Loch Ness Monster meat on human physiology, and I, for one, refuse to take the risk. >

If they spend their time fixing made up issues that's less time they're spending ruining our lives on real issues. >

So glad they’re focused on the real problems facing this country >

Not surprised that the party of nothing, wants to focus on fixing a problem that doesn't exist. >

If they're worried about cannibalism now... They should've gone vegan when Roe v. Wade wasn't overturned.
What's that? Any and all food processes contain zero human tissues...? Then why are they trying to crack down on "fetal tissues in food...?" There's no such thing? >

I did not think it was possible to have less respect for conservatives than I did in 2016, but they have relentlessly worked to prove me wrong. >

More dribble from the party of duh! >

And republicans think it’s Partisan that their shit is routinely culled from social media. Harmful disinformation and outright conspiracies notwithstanding! >

Ho did he gt into The Citadel? Even being an above average student is just not enough. His wiki only covers after the election.  I ha e questions
