This... basically doesn't matter. Italy is known for its food culture and they take it very seriously. If you don't believe me, try ordering a latte after noon.

This... basically doesn't matter. Italy is known for its food culture and they take it very seriously. If you don't believe me, try ordering a latte after noon. Cultivated meat is now in the realm of semi-feasible science fiction. In theory there's a Jose Andres restaurant where I could try it, in practice its very expensive and there's so little supply that very few people can even get that tasting menu. If it works out and winds up taking off, bans are reversible. Italy will never give up its red cows but who knows. On the other hand, everything I've read about cultivation is its an incredibly interesting science project. The texture is still weird, the price is still astronomical, despite an astounding quantity of resources poured into this you're just not going to be grilling lab-burgers any time in the foreseeable future. If the goal is to make meat sustainable, the fastest way to cut percentage points are to roll back American burger portions to what they were in the 1980s, and start a falafel craze.
