I don't underestimate the complexity of biological matter. I'm not stating anything. I question the statement that factory food will most certainly be less healthy. I'm also not assuming anything about lab meat processes. I don't know how it's done, how the taste and the nutrients will be kept.
Now, your last comment is certainly convincing and I understand your perspective better. Thanks for taking the time!
And what about the myriad of micronutrients? A grass eating cow has in its meat a different set of nutrients than those eating grain or grown in a vat. So again, add in artificial enhancers to the product.
Lastly, the unknown unknowns: all the good stuff in biological food we still have not even learned about, so cannot supplement when it's grown in a vat.
I would rather eat bug flour than lab-grown meat products. At least the bugs have a nutritionally-complete chemical profile, and cannot be trademarked and sold as a "product."
