Prior post to this one but the ecology in some areas of the USA and North America in general are so fucked that unless we literally thin the herd they will die of starvation.

It's ethical for a farmer to protect themselves and live stock but many are gun ho about killing all predators. Given that a lot of farms tend to be remote, you have a rifle in the truck and pack a pistol to at least try to scare away the animal.

Lab-grown meat will likely have an odd taste to it but is more likely to be morally acceptable.

Considering we can taste the difference between corn-fed and grass-fed beef, I'd imagine they would work on figuring out the nutrient slurry that makes the meatalog taste best. They might even be able to improve the taste, texture, marbling, &c. I just don't expect the first generation product to be great

It would still be a massive, amazing development just needs some time to properly age.

There's no such thing as lab grown meat and if there ever will be it's not in the near term
