This bill passed through the House and Senate before ultimately being vetoed by SD Gov. Larry Rhoden. A new bill on "fake meat" is still in play for the 2026 legislative session, SB 124, which Gov. Rhoden is calling a "compromise." Learn more about this topic that is happening in real time in this week's episode.
