Assuming you're referring to lab-grown meat, I think that's also a great alternative. We should be exploring any and all options that can get us to stop relying on cows for protein.
Yeah, I am referring to lab/vat grown meat (I don't think 'lab grown' is really accurate once it's at the industrial scale), and I can't wait. Steaks would be nice, but burger should be easy, since most inconsistencies in the meat would be solved by grinding it. I've tried beyond meat/impossible burger, and they just aren't right; gimmie some vat tacos, the sooner the better.
Though I did actually read an article a while back about gene-engineered plants spliced to produce animal proteins that were apparently a very convincing facsimile; I can't remember what plant, but I would assume beans. If that ever makes it to market, I'd love to give it a try as well
