I think it's telling that not even vegans want it.
You wouldn't get sex advice from a nun, so why eat laboratory meat from a vegan?

The real target market is current-day meat-eaters who wish, for ethical or environmental reasons, that they ate less meat.
Or my position: that the industrial-scale torture of factory farms is a stain on humanity, but most people's consciences are too stunted to even engage with moral questions if it means changing their own behavior. In the presence of indistinguishable lab-grown meat, this argument against more ethical practices evaporates.
> industrial-scale torture of factory farms
So melodramatic. You can raise your own animals.
> but most people's consciences are too stunted
No, some people are so weak minded that they attribute human characteristics to animals to the point of wincing at the idea of a balanced omnivorous diet.
You only find this permanent state of infantilization in first world countries. Even Buddhists in Tibet are perfectly happy to eat meat.
> Even Buddhists in Tibet are perfectly happy to eat meat.
It is generally true that some adherents of religion X regularly do non-X things, in Tibet and elsewhere.
