Vat grown meat seems a more plausible thing to hope for?

Animals being killed per se doesn't bother me but factory farms seem like specifically designed hell for animals that are smart enough to really understand suffering, especially pigs. They also put out truly scary pollution with those pig poo poo lagoons that give people brain lesions and they contribute to anti-biotic resistance too.

More generally meat production puts out a lot of greenhouse gas. Vat grown meat, by being much more centralised will be a lot more energy efficient and a lot less polluting which is probably its main benefit. On that note I'm already happy eating Quorn most of the time and would be willing to try insect derived protein if that becomes a thing too.
