Thing is, it doesn’t really matter. If lab grown works out, its only a matter of time before its cheaper and tastes better than farmed meat. At that point any laws against it are going to fall apart

I doubt it’ll ever taste as good as the real thing, but I can certainly see it eventually being cheaper if we ever cut out the massive subsidies.

Well im no scientist so maybe someone smarter can comment. However if it becomes possible to design every aspect of the meat artificially then it seems to me that it’s pretty much guaranteed that it will taste better. You could produce the perfect fat to meat ratio in every steak without the anitbiotics and animal stress that affect farmed animals

There’s more to flavor and texture than just the ratio of fat to lean, not to mention the color. Consider farmed vs. wild-caught fish (especially salmo), pastured vs. caged chicken, grass vs. corn-fed beef, etc.
