We are losing many basic nutrients in our food content simply because of farmers selecting their produce for taste and appearance. Even if all foods were cells

  I mentioned sugar in my post, but you can get fat eating excessive quantities of otherwise healthy foods. Now, I am not saying nutrition is ignorable you need to do more than say it was alive and now it’s in my tummy so everything is fine. On the other hand eating normal foods doesn’t require min maxing 26,000 different chemicals. Moreover, you can pick a safe organism, stick it in a growth medium, let it sit for a while, and then eat it. That’s how we get cheese, beer, bread, soy sauce etc. Calling it lab grown meat evokes an image that’s different from what’s being proposed. They aren’t synthesizing every individual molecule they are simply feeding cells. If those cells can be healthy then most of what your cells need is probably included. I wouldn’t try to live on an all lab grown meat diet, but that’s also true of an all beef/beer/cheese/etc diet
