>Basically at scale is a engineered bioreactor cheaper than the natural blood & bones bioreactor? No, it's not. That's what the whole article is about. It won't be cost effective, not even at that scale. Plus, it gives some other physical/pragmatic reasons on why it may not be even possible to do it (disregarding costs).

It was a question. My main disagreement is not the outcome but rather that there was never a real cost breakdown of lab vs natural. Personally I found the article's structure makes it a bit hard to follow and even more difficult to formulate a good response. However the reports it mentions are pretty good: GFI (Good Food Institute which represents these lab meat companies) https://gfi.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/cultured-meat-LCA-TEA-policy.pdf https://gfi.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/cultured-meat-LCA...
