Styx does a great job of breaking down why you should not eat the lab grown meat. It is part of an agenda to eliminate traditional food production. If you cannot simply grow your own food, you become incredibly dependent on the authority that controls food production. It is quite literally Soylent Green. Perhaps not the human as food component but the dependence of the population on the factory produced food. The connection that Styx did not make is with 15 minutes cities. Once you have people in these concentration camps, have total control the the food supply, they have ultimate control. At first they will make the cities luxurious and bountiful but once everyone is in and the doors locked, they no longer have incentive to provide such opulence. The food can also devolve quite literally into Soylent Green at that point.
