dude, people don't even want to buy crops that are sprayed once during the season with weedkiller...are you really thinking they would buy meat from stem cell cultures?

I think if you believe in the laws of scarcity you will see that the price of cultured meat will at some point cross below the price of farm raised meat. And if the technology advances with a relative quickness the price will be substantially lower. We aren't talking about filet mignon here, we are talking more like ground beef. And yes, if the meat is grown organically using natural stem cells, I think a lot of people will buy into it. Of course, most won't care as long as it's cheap.
