It's about all the illnesses and the spoiled meat we get precisely because of the classical process, not to mention the environmental and economical issues to boot.
So when you talk about safety, cultured meat would be clearly superior to the former kind.
As for taste, look and affordability, those are important areas as well, which from what I understood won't pose too much of a problem. So the biggest problem would actually be combating general perception.
Ok, sounds good to me. I still remain slightly sceptical about manipulating nature like this and there being no consequences. If there truly is no consequences then I'd say it's very true that people's perception would need to change. I imagine ranchers would be angry since they would be the ones competing against artificial meat.
You talk about consequences in a very misterious manner, though, as if by merely doing something like that we'll have caused nature to mystically rise against us to set the record straight or something.
