Sure, but that’s a huge if — especially regarding safety and nutrition.

Then regulating criteria for determining that would be reasonable.

One factor I am suprised no one seems to be mentioning is taste. In the absence of quality tests for how well lab-grown meat serves as a nutritional substitute, I would think taste would be a good metric. Perhaps even better than tests, since nutritional science still contains a lot of unknowns.

Taste is also serves as a good metric, because it supports human happiness and enjoyment. A big factor.
