The fda has just approved lab grown chicken for two separate companies. It will still most likely take more land/energy to produce than plants, but should eventually be more efficient than traditional meat. It also has the benfit of not being a substitute, but instead actually being meat.

Oops, didn't scroll down far enough to see someone already mentioned it. Feel free to ignore me

I hadn't actually heard about lab-grown chicken, everything I'm read about has been beef. Vat chicken soup would be cool too.

Now, eggs might be more difficult

Apparently eggs have already been done, as has milk that can be turned into cheese

Although it's a different process

Rather than grow them by duplicating existing cells, instead you GMO brewer's yeast to produce the proteins you want, similar to how we make insulin now, and then add the few things you can't get the yeast to provide (which with sufficient tinkering, is basically just the shell, and even that can be substituted with plastic containers)
