Because technically meat paste is packaged and sold as burgers, depending on how you legally define burgers, meat, and paste.

The world around you is rife with people pushing the quality of goods to the point the market will accept, and then moving the market to accept even worse.

Because fundamentally, morals don’t exist in a market. They are imposed.

And good / bad are subjective. People buy cheap protein. This will be cheap protein.

And even if it is tasteless, texture less and nothing any human will call meat, it will sell as long as it’s opportunity cost is lower than the alternative.

Yeah, you can definitely buy some real cheap, garbage "meat". But you can also buy really high quality, really good meat. It's not like "markets" means everything is of horrible quality.

I think the whole point of GP is that lab grown meat makes it cheaper to produce much higher quality meat. That would actually mean at every price point, you get better quality than you do today. Your comment comes off as aimless pessimism rather than anything actually related to this thread.
