I disagree. I find the idea of meat grown in a lab to be completely and totally horrifying.
That's just really temporary "future shock" though surely? I mean inherently, you surely don't have anything against other "manufactured" food. You may not particularly like "non malt" vinegar (insert your own choice of "chemically manufactured food stuff" here) but it's hardly "horrifying".
As for your point on chickens, that really would depend on the chickens... battery chickens are not a separate species after all. We used to have bantams and they're feistly little buggers, woe betide anyone who tried to collect their eggs. I've enough similar stories from people who grew up collecting eggs from chickens to think that regular chickens can be quite as characterful. I can imagine if some chickens had been raised as battery chickens they might be a bit listless for a while afterwards.

As Andrew says, reindeer isn't much to miss... If you're desparate though you can buy it online pretty easily.
