What's Florida's beef with cultivated meat? Julie, Kate & Ant discuss the news that Florida has become the first US state to ban cultivated meat (which isn't even available for sale yet?!) and whether this is a hammer blow to the vegan movement...or indeed evidence that we're onto something!

We also look at...

*Puppy yoga banned in Italy...

*Lidl invests half a billion pounds into the pork industry...

*Radically Kind demonstrations in London...

And much more!
