This is just shareholder value. Scaling meat has so many problems, but if you can sell fake meat at meat prices suddenly there is so much more profit margin to be returned to shareholders.
I do not believe for 1 second that Tyson cares about health, environments, farmers or the well being of animals.

The only reason your animals need antibiotics is because they're living in overcrowded cells eating the wrong food (they're ruminants, corn/soy is not their food), covered in fecal matter etc. etc. A small number of animals per acre , lots of sunlight (ultraviolet light) and proper waste disposal (bugs, rains, etc).

I haven't followed Tyson - is there something they've done in recent history that has particularly contributed to the skepticism? Or is this more general "all corporations-are-evil" skepticism?

In which case we should all marvel at the virtues of capitalism and the free market, which take our selfish desires, and convert them into environmentally and communally beneficial actions.
