You may be sure it’ll be a government grant drain in perpetuity, research that goes on as far as the eye can see into the future.

Well, there are actually some promising areas of research in tissue engineering. Growing replacement organs like ears, for instance, would be well worth a few hundred dollars worth of fetal bovine serum and other expensive components.

I'm just not sure that growing meat in a lab is one of those promising areas. Too expensive. Too disgusting. I say that last as a life scientist who spends lots of time in the lab.
