I have doubts about whether it would be just as healthy as the meat we eat right now.

I think it would be too expensive and not worth the cost of production.

I think it would be strange, to say the least. Unnatural. I can't imagine eating something grown in a lab.

The only difference being that one is grown in a living animal and the other is grown in the laboratory - which if you take in account all the other factors involved is a meaningless difference, aside from the fact that one is unsustainable, unethical and unhealthy and the other isn't, at least in theory. Beyond that, we're merely talking about the likelihood of achieving that hypothetical scenario in reality, which clearly people are working to do right now and they already have much to show for it.

I don't know if the meat is identical to that of that grown on a living animal, I'd have to research the facts more and have more sources than the CEO of the company who grows the meat.
He didn't start off as a CEO. He's a cardiologist who got interested in this area and subsequently sought out investment for his ideas - and got it. 

That being said, I did say we're talking about a hypothetical given our little knowledge on the topic. Still, I think the podcast I provided is informative enough for anyone even mildly interested.
