Florida legislators have been quietly working to ban and criminalize the production and sale of cell-cultivated meat across the state, via the introduction of two bills.
Yeah I’m extremely skeptical that it will ever be scalable, maybe I’m wrong. One of the reasons is that you need pharmaceutical grade bioreactors, completely clean. When animals get disease they have an immune system to fight it. In a bioreactor, if they get contaminated, instead of a animal cell culture you’ll just get a bacteria cell culture, because they reproduce so much faster.
Where I think there’s some optimism is for precision fermentation to produce some types of animal products like milk, egg whites, cheese

Easily producible cheese products that don’t require the horror show of modern milk production would be pretty awesome
Apparently China has had very good luck with pig skins for noodles
