During the interview, Toubia suggested Florida's ban on lab grown meat will result in lost investment opportunities that will now go to other states or countries.He said: 'If Florida is putting barriers to innovation in the state resources will be directed elsewhere...We believe innovation will happen and needs to be integrated beside conventional practices and will become complementary at some point in time.
