and you'll see what yuck really looks like.

The cultured chicken on sale today is a very early step, like the first home computer. Expect massive reductions in cost and a switch, eventually, to microbial protein as the primary feedstock. That's when the real synergies happen, and the footprint shrinks massively.
Sorry, but "Soylent Green!" and "it's unnatural" don't qualify as arguments.
An alarming realisation, reading the responses to this thread, is that many people seem to believe the chicken they buy is produced this way, rather than that way.
