This is great (I'm a big proponent of synthetic meat, which is similar, and the potential of engineered foods in general) but I'm not so sure Biz is the best judge of what real meat tastes and feels like if he has been a long time vegan.
Also it will be extremely difficult to get Americans to switch to fake meat, no matter how cheap/tasty/nutritious it is. We are a pretty superstitious culture.

Eating muscle meats like Steak is a big deal, and we as men are somehow less macho and manly if we don't eat these. It might sound ludicrous, but when I became vegetarian it was amazing the comments I got from friends all around not being a man from the decision. A wife of one friend piped up "I dunno, I think it's more manly to stick to something you believe in, than do something just cause it'd be 'Manly'."
