    For now, lab grown meat is super expensive, and I honestly can’t see a way it will ever catch up to faciry farmed animals. Factory farmed animal meat is very close to optimal in terms of cost efficiency.

        Right, the true cost efficiency is lentils and chickpeas. People who dislike these just don’t know how to make them in appealing ways which is frankly not hard with just some exploration.

      Honestly aside from the nutrients the infrastructure around them is crazy. For now lab-grown meat still is very expensive but I think if optimized and produced at mass scale the cost could definitely go below what meat from animal facotries costs
