We already grow lab grown meat that can be purchased at ~$11 a lb. It aint ribeye, it aint filet, and it doesnt really taste like anything. We would need to get to where this meat can either replicate certain cuts (being able to grow bones and fats) or to where its cheap enough to get down to the level of bland, tasteless meat (McDoubles). A McDouble has 6 oz of uncooked ground beef on it and costs $1.39. the price of a McDouble isnt just the beef though. The buns, pickles, the three sets of hands that made it, the building it was made in etc all are added into that price. McDonalds profits a fraction of a cent on that cheeseburger. The meat grown in a lab needs to drop to like $1 a lb before you see it become a common alternative to factory farmed beef. Even if you advertised it as cruelty free meat, its a fast food joint. 99% of people who come in dont give a rats ass.
