If it ever actually comes to market there will be a huge marketing push to make it seem like or better than normal meat, and to reframe or make people not think about how the product is made. There's lots of things that are pretty gross when you think about them, but have been marketed and made palatable. I think they'll be able to create people who want the product by reframing what the product is, once they /have/ a product.

It's not 'lab grown meat', it's 'cruelty free meat' or 'eco steak.'

Every politician from the midwest, every meat industry lobbyist, and every livestock farmer will make damn sure that won't happen without a fight.
Also the vast majority of the public, who eat meat. I would sacrifice your right to free speech before I sacrificed my ability to eat meat.
