#2I'm following lab grown meat with optimism but I really hope they are required to label it as such.

At the current time, the label is positive marketing.
I'd love to have cruelty free meat.

Because instead of chickens eating waste products, we run electricity to build cells.
I imagine those waste products will be used by something else.

Certainly not cruelty free. Arguably less cruel. The extraction of the resources needed to grow the meat shifts a lot of the cruelty to wild animals, not to mention that you still need barnyard animals involved in the process, but the technology is quite neat so it is definitely positive marketing on that end. Being still less efficient to produce, that marketing will also be necessary to compel the buyer to pay more.

In California, maybe?
Has a transition to fake meat worked anywhere, commercially?

This would be real meat.
Just to be clear 'beyond meat' is a bean that is fermented.
This is animal cells grown in a lab.

I think it's more because the medium used to grow the cells has to be so heavily processed it results in more waste. A chicken will grow in a dirty yard with enough water and corn meal while scratching for bugs and worms. A cell culture requires a nutrient bath that is completely sterile. So instead of just feeding the corn to the chickens you are processing a ton of corn to produce glucose and such...
I think eventually they will create bio reactors that can process corn like a chicken can, but it will essentially just be a chicken without a brain. Meat is honestly disgusting when you think too much about it.
