Is it actually more land/energy efficient than livestock? I’ve never seen any numbers on it, I’ve only heard people talk about the ethical side of things.
Once at scale, it’s hard to imagine it not being much more efficient. You only are feeding a much smaller group of cells compared to an entire being
Besides just culture meat, there’s also stuff like precision fermentation out there that’s super interesting (and already is being used commercially). With it you can create biologically identical proteins. You can buy things like ice creams with non-animal whey in a number of stores

This is the way. Solve problems with technology, not by just throwing up your hands and going back to the bad old days when ice cream didn’t exist.
