I answered the way I did because you specified "grown in a lab". If you'd asked the real question, "manufactured in an industrial environment", not by scientists or technicians but by transient ill-paid untrained factory workers, you would have got a different set of answers.

I think the quality control of inputs implicit in vat growing makes me less nervous about the transient ill-paid factory worker issue rather than less.

Yes I do.

I think stuff grown in a vat is going to have better quality control of the inputs than a factory where thousands of dead animals arrive from a muddy farm and are minced in stages more or less by hand in a big open shed.
