Completely dissociating our lives from the natural processes that we evolved with for millenia and which we don't yet fully understand is very likely to create many more, and much more serious issues than it is supposed to address.

Synthetic meat (or any kind of food) in particular sounds like a really awful idea. It sounds like some kind of progressive, rational choice but it is really only an extreme of the abuses of technology that make our lives miserable and drive people to seek a "natural" way of life (which never existed).

If I may be so bold, that is not how we resolve the ethical issues of industrial meat production. It's how we turn into the Borg.
