Vertical farms? Sure.

Lab-grown proteins? No thank you, I'd rather starve. Same goes for bug-based food. If YOU want to eat them then sure, I won't stop you, but I'll be the old man that keeps repeating that back in my day meat came from farm animals, and I'll beat with my walking stick anyone who tries to feed me ""meat"".

I still think it should be fine to grow your own meat the traditional farming way. Humanity should never lose the knowledge and capability.
Exactly, it's fine to have the option, but for it to completely (or mostly) replace the meat industry? That's a no from me. If you want less carbon emissions there are other, better ways than replacing the way humans fed themselves for millennia. Granted, industrial/processed food is not exactly the same, but still much closer to "real" meat than lab meat.
