Pray tell what "healthy relationship" we have with nature with the current status quo? Using science and technology for good by reimagining the antiquated methods of creating stuff like milk, cheese, beef , honey, leather, etc is a good thing. I'm vegan, btw.

Some vegans do oppose lab-grown meat (perhaps also dairy), on the grounds that humankind will never treat our animal brothers and sisters justly until we have lost the very appetite for their flesh.

Replacing these "antiquated" methods with extensive supply chains (even more) dependent on non-renewable resource extraction doesn't seem like using technology "for good"

  Supply chains and process can be streamlined. A herd of cows is a herd of cows.

        Right, because all of the plastics used in these labs are made from renewable sources?

        Yes, it’s possible but you can’t say the same about live feed. Cows will be cows, pigs will be pigs.
