    let’s be completely real here though, lab grown meat does not scale at all - it’s low scale, insanely expensive and probably not all that environmentally friendly when you count all the steps too. All this is just for political points, it does not really make a tiny bit of a difference.

      That’s true as of now, but if we stopped subsidising farmers and spent that funding on lab grow technology then, much like solar, it would go from expensive niche to cheap mainstream a whole lot quicker. All decisions like this do is slow that process down.
