Well, the problem of it being reliant on Bovine Foetal Serum seems to be 
just about solved, at least:

The article about cultured meat being worse from the point of view of 
emissions was just hand-waving 'maybeism'.

We'll just have to wait and see. By the time it's resolved, we probably 
won't need meat ourselves (as in Meat Bodies).
