I think lab grown meat will radically change how we as humans consume food and its going to taste way better than any animal grown meats we eat today. Animal breeding and husbandry right now is so crude, and there are so many inputs and outputs to optimize, and while meat taste is part of the equation, others factors are meat yield, byproducts, animal health itself (all factors that are important, but are often times in conflict with making the "tastiest" meats). Stage 1 is going to be recreating crude meats like ground beef or sausage, stage 2 will be recreating true single flesh meats like a chicken breast, or a steak, and stage 3 is going to be "designer" meats like a kobe beef recreation, and stage 4 will be "meat insanity", creating "meat like" foods that nature would never be able to produce but that taste incredible (steak balloons, cotton candy like fried chicken, foie gras & tuna marble). Imagine going to a sushi like restaurant where the food is all nigiri style small meat cuts but the meat is all this wild bespoke artificial meats that no animal could ever product, but are wildly tasty.
