I think inevitably, the labs will make something, "close enough to meat". Then corporations will strip that down to the most cost effective model of that "meat". This will be sold to consumers as "green meat" or something that gives them the impression they're saving the world. The body will struggle with the amalgamation. Probably worse than a McNugget. Because even though a McNugget is filled with junk, there's still some meat (probably?).

Some disease will arrise in society that is obviously caused by consuming X "meat". And lobbyist will make sure that the public never knows.

Then we will have a massive diseased population. That a "health" industry will thrive on "marginally" treating the diseased.

Wait a second. This sounds like what we already have. Carry on.
