We do have a number of excellent meat alternatives now, which use relatively simple processing steps and legumes, wheat etc. as base material.

As such, I imagine, they will remain cheaper than lab-grown meat and if we can get past people's reservations with them, I feel like they would offer a much more direct path for farmers to get paid, as well as the opportunity for various smaller companies to compete in doing that processing.
