Organs are edible. You should try it sometimes. They are not waste products. No wonder Americans find these things wasteful. In my experience, even something as simple as chicken. People do not actually eat the whole thing. Half of it is thrown away, just like everything else.
It's very strange to me, because growing up, we'd eat everything. But I married into an American family, and I'm often picking stuff off the bones they throw out. We were raised to eat everything, even the marrow.

Sure, but the bioreactor is (1) heavily affected by supply chain issues, (2) dependent on an external source of energy, (3) requires complex chemical inputs that have to be synthesized themselves oftentimes. No one takes into account the whole thing.
Also, monoculture is always going to be less resilient than an actual population of cattle, or pigs, or chickens. But, I guess this is a problem that affects the whole industry.
