> There is no justification for a special legal exception for lab-grown meat.

Sure there is. It's untested and experimental. I don't want to go to a restaurant and accidentally eat lab-grown meat.

Then chose to eat something else, you're good. I'm not seeing your choice here as in any way a worse issue than anyone else (such as someone on a vegetarian or halal diet) faces already without this kind of special treatment.

And I don't think you're engaging fully with the questions above in parent or grandparent post. I will refrain from repeating myself when you can always re-read.

Do you also worry about muslims accidentally eating non-halal meat? Do you worry about jews accidentally eating pork? Would you be okay for them to ban such things?

As a vegetarian who pukes when I accidentally eat meat (happened twice in ten years), I would like to ban all meat. I trust that I'll have your enthusiastic support?
