> Lab grown meat that has real animal protein would be way better as there can be hormonal issues with eating only soy and wheat protein.

I don't understand the confidence in lab-grown meat as a fix for the dietary needs of the future.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like there would be substantial energy and water needs just to provide the precursor nutrients to turn into lab-grown meat -- kinda the same way we already have that problem with actual meat -- plus it would be an industrial process, complete with industrial demands and centralized ownership of productive capital and all the exploitation and abuse that the rest of the industrialized food chain has.

Seems like a better solution might just be -- raise some chickens. They eat bugs and weeds, lay eggs, and poop fertilizer. It's work, but it's right there.
