Seems like the world is getting dumber. Lab grown food will only "destroy" farming if and when it produces a product that consumers prefer. That requires that it is both palatable and cost competitive. neither of those two things is likely anytime soon.

They are projecting to reach cost parity with traditional meat within the next 8 years. The story is very similar for other types of cultured meat. 2. Even if we replace the meat-based goo used by the biggest fast food chains it’s going to have a massive impact on numerous industries. Cleaner, safer cultured meat with a flavor profile completely controlled by said fast food chains? What would consumers not like here?
