But lab-grown meat is very tasty!

I once tried a small piece, tasted like synthetic crab meat made of fake chicken. Imported from USA.

I wouldn't want to try my luck with it. Enough products from farmers here.

People often say that lab-grown meat can be more efficient by not growing parts of the animal that we don't eat like skin and bones. But I don't see how it could become sustainable. The producers still have to replicate most other parts of the real animal: The digestion and waste removal systems and an equivalent for blood vessels that would reach all portions of the growth vessel. The tank must also be kept completely sterile because there is no immune system. An animal takes in raw plant material, often what we would regard as too low greade to eat. But now we must chemically break it down to produce nutrients that the meat cells can accept directly. They must be refined to an extremely high degree, more so than any protein powder, and kept free of microorganisms.
