btw gradner, ur new at this if you actually believe meat cultures will have trumped traditional farming 1 measly decade from now. Even if the raw materials -> production ratio exceeded traditional farming efficiency today (and they may), the human capital required to manage such production is going to remain way more expensive than the difference in efficiency offsets. Needs fully automated production facilities.
I'd be willing to concede we may see the scale tip and meat culture farming becoming the higher profit-margin choice in our lifetimes, but you're a real Kurzweil if you're going to stand by that 10 year prediction boy. You can just pay a bunch of brown slaves virtually nothing to do the work and have your operation cost 50% more calories in grain instead of investing hundreds of millions in a giant robot meat culture facility for efficiency increase. 100 year minimum for meat culture farming to outproduce traditional farming globally.
