to be fair, it seems like the most exciting possibility in the future for our everyday lives is also one of our best chances for survival

Right now, meat production is one of the biggest contributors to global warming because of how much pollution is produced growing food for livestock, shipping it to farms, cleaning up waste, and shipping meat to grocers and butchers. On top of that our diets are limited by what can be commercially farmed, and as delicious as meat is there's no denying it's unethical

the advent of lab grown meat could solve all these problems, greatly reducing the resources and pollution needed to produce and ship meat, increasing the availability of exotic meats like giraffe or peacock, and alleviating any and all ethical concerns. Arguably, it could even result in ethically sourced human meat being sold in groceries though that last part is probably a bad idea.

On top of that, if we get to the point where we can grow fat as well as meat, it's possible that every steak could be A5 Kobe beef.

You've got to admit that's something to be hopeful about.
