My background is growing cells in mediums using controlled environments. Even in bsl3 environments contamination is still easy. If they are going to create immortal cell lines like HeLa the meat will literally be cancer cells. The chance of the nutrients being healthy are slim to none. Making a medium is not hard, but sourcing all the ingredients from natural organic sources will not happen in mass production. Religion is not the view point in this, science of man is. I know the science and because of it I'm happy to stick with creation.

Have all the lab grown meat you want.

Which is why technology development for this kind of stuff must be aggressively persued. If we want to avoid a rapid fluctuation in our carrying capacity we must shift away from traditional agriculture and further develop our hydroponics and vitromeat technologies. The boons are too important to ignore. We can improve processes.
