I think most people eat way more meat than they are supposed to, and specially Americans. So I don’t think it’s an overpopulation problem, more than a culture/demand problem.
I personally have no problem with lab grown meat if it’s a more efficient and humane way of making protein that tastes as good or better than farmed meat. I also have no personal issues with eating meat the way it is now. I do try to get my shit from farms or ethically raised but that’s easier said than done. So I welcome any advances in food production.

Of course not, but just an example to show that we’re at the peak of food safety.
Look up the book “The Jungle” on meat production in the not too distant past (early 20th century).
