I think we are re-inventing the wheel of using biochemical process to grow protein. Current meats have millions of years of evolution. Sure the types eaten most are not bred out of efficiency. Why don't we choose other starting points, possibly insect, e.g. grasshopper or maggot and grow them in the lab?
I like the idea to start with the most efficient specie but other animals/vegetable we eat are in fact already very bred out for efficiency. So much that some very efficient ranchs choose to slaughter babies caws at birth because they are “milk bred” male or “meat bred” female and not economically viable.
