Of course you´re free to eat the high quality meat of your choice. The crushing, devastating majority of beef isn´t anywhere near decent or purely grass-fed though, and is eaten by people who don´t care that it isn´t. Just like as if they don´t care about their health anyway. I´d say there´s a fair chance this carefully engineered product is less detrimental to your health than the hap hazard cocktail of preservatives, pesticides, insectizides, antibiotics, flavour enhancers, preservatives and what not, that infests the lionshare of the meat market.
So if the carefreee meat eater can be interested to switch over to eating somethjing that reduces the ecological footprint of their burger by around (from memory so don´t quote me) 70%, I´d say that´s a brilliant win, if it becomes a big enough player on the market.

Frankly, I doubt very much that this product is any more harmful then the majority of meat products people eat daily, with residues of insecticides and pesticides from the fodder, and antibiotics that the animals are fed like candy, becuse their living conditions are so aweful it´s the only way to keep them "healthy"...
And if you will, think of it as a two stage rocket: Meat eating is not all about taste, there is so much habit and culture in it as well. Getting peoiple un-hooked from meat per se is stage one. Then, when people are adjusted to consciously eating plants, even though it might still taste like meat, they can start expand their palett as well. By time, maybe this can lead some people to adopt a more healthy way of eating..?

A lot of comments about this being (speculatively) harmful for your health. I doubt very much that this carefully tested product is any more harmful then the hap hazard chemical cocktail that make up the majority of meat products people eat daily:
Residues of insecticides and pesticides from the fodder, and antibiotics that the animals are fed like candy, becuse their living conditions are so unhealthy it´s the only way to keep them alive.
They are fed things that are unnatural for them to eat, and because of this develope a biochemistry that is nothing like that of a healthy animal living in natural conditions. They are fed bone, fish and blood, huge amounts of protein from soy, and high calory fodder like corn. Not to mention of course the additives (in animal fodder, or in the human consumption product), like flavour enhancers, preservatives, consistency agents and all the rest I probably forgot.
This is not healthy food and there is nothing natural about it. And this is the case, to a lesser or larger extent, for the vast majority of meat on the market.
(and I´m no vegan or vegetarian so I´m not pushing a no-meat agenda, only less-meat and a high-quality meat agendas)
