    People have fetishized animals so much that creating synthetic goop in the form of flesh somehow got billions in founding. Omnivores eat meat, even herbivores do it sometimes, get over it.

      You're fixating on the emotional issues of eating meat, but that's not even the primary interest in the technology.

        afaik most people who don't eat meat or would consider synthetic alternatives do so because of moral considerations. We are already super efficient in farming meat, to such degree when that transportation is a bigger factor.
