It is.

But honestly it can only be no better or better. Live cows are very bad for the environment. Growing plants is pretty bad even without feeding it to cows. Plowing releases huge amounts of co2 while chemical weed killers destroy rivers etc. one has to be done to grow food in a land efficiency manor.

So again it’s hard to argue lab meat is worse as even high energy cost has renewable and low pollution based options farming dose not. It’s just if aoxiery bothers.
