...And what happens when we no longer need cows? It's not going to be happy fun time for the species, because as soon as there's not a reason to breed them then we'll have a few cows kicking around in zoos and that's it. Good for the environment, possibly, but bad for the species.

Jeff Bezos buys a newspaper for $250,000.
Sergey Brin buys a burger for €250,000.
Each smart in its own way.
It seems like this is all for solving the wrong problem. Why isn't there a shift away from the perceived need for more meat.
The timing on this is amusing: Jeff Bezos buys a newspaper for $250,000. Sergey Brin buys a burger for €250,000. Each smart in its own way.

What are the cells for the burger fed on? In tissue culture it's normal to feed cells Foetal Bovine Serum. Is this the case with these cells? If so we haven't fully removed the need for living, breathing animals from the equation.
maybe this is not the objective, rather having a more efficient way to produce meat, you're taking out of the equation the farm, meaning less space used, maybe healthier meat (without all the antibiotics and less fat) from one cow you can produce 10 tons of meat without all the space needed not only to raise the cows, but to grow their food, the lab can also be closer to consumers having obvious implications on that.
No intermediate step which takes 10 times the space of a traditional meat-farm, no anti-biotics, fat-free and no need for any living, breathing animal slughtering.
Honestly I cant find a single logical reason why this artificial-meat buisness is a good idea except for "just because we can"

Do you think they are having fun now? They are bred to be eaten, if we don't need them we'll stop breeding them.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Well, if efficiency is the endgoal here, than bean cultivation seems way more logical answere to beef alternatives than fake meat. You basically take the the food you would otherwice feed your cows, stew it together with some saffran and beet juice (the same colorants as for the fake meat) and you have your economy-burger. No intermediate step which takes 10 times the space of a traditional meat-farm, no anti-biotics…
