The "Yuck" factor

Is it just me or does this sound really gross? " Test Tube Meat Nears Dinner Table
"To produce the meat we eat now, 75 (percent) to 95 percent of what we feed an animal is lost because of metabolism and inedible structures like skeleton or neurological tissue," says Matheny. "With cultured meat, there's no body to support; you're only building the meat that eventually gets eaten."
I think it would be hard to get past the "Yuck" factor.  Sheets of cultured meat doesn't sound very appetising

This is a classic case of allowing stupid people to call themselves scientists. From agricultural economics to the carbon and nitrogen cycles they clearly don't understand how the world works.
