> and other factors that will need to be overcome before cultivated protein can be produced cheaply enough to displace traditional meat. This elides over the cost differential and where that "cheaply enough" wall is. Animal grown meat is currently rising in costs and will continue to rise in costs as both demand is rising and the habitat for those animals is constricting due to climate change. How much cheaper does lab grown meat and how much more more expensive does animal grown meat need to be before it becomes viable. From what I've read they are closer than this argument assumes.
