Let carnivores decide whether to eat lab-grown meat

A 3.5-ounce patty, formed from approximately 20,000 muscle fibers stored in separate vials, was cooked before an audience in London.
This event highlights the cultivated meat sector, where global demand is expected to rise by more than 50% by 2050, driving innovation.
Upside, one of over 170 cultivated meat and seafood startups, has sold its meat in a San Francisco restaurant catering to the rich and curious, while the sector has raised $3.1 billion in the past decade.
Cultivated meat is projected to meet just half a percentage point of global demand by 2030, but conservative forecasts suggest it could reduce land use for beef production by 10-fold and carbon emissions by 12-fold.
Despite manufacturing innovations and the potential to mitigate the undeniable climate risks posed by livestock, as exemplified by a single California cattle ranch emitting as much methane annually as 165,000 cars, Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi have banned lab-grown meat, purportedly to protect cattle ranchers and farmers, while reaching price parity with conventional meat remains a challenge.
