I'm not going to even argue about which is worse or better, but what about my personal freedom to eat lab-grown meat if I want to?

Why do these few states hate freedom?

Or is it just the wrong kind of freedom?

I looks to me more like ah, "red meat for the base".

They are just protecting the meat industry's freedom to forbid you from eating lab grown meat.

Jokes aside, it's lobbying and corruption in its purest form. I cannot see any reason to ban it.

Yep, but maybe it's a a case where calling for bans is to have compromise on labeling move towards more explicit labeling. Like Canada's cigarette labeling https://www.cp24.com/news/new-graphic-health-warnings-on-cig...

(not to say lab grown meat has the health problems of cigarettes, but I'm sure people calling for a ban would like it to be labeled as such)

You’re being disingenuous. Just call them hypocrites, it’s okay. You don’t have to pretend you’re a libertarian to make that argument.
