Setting aside the issue of whether people would buy it, how economically viable is artificially-grown meat?

I.E., meat that's not from an animal, but is grown in a metaphorical test tube? I know it exists, but is the cost of production practical? If not, can we make it practical in the future?

    The world's first lab-grown burger was eaten in 2013, at an estimated cost of 250,000 British pounds. So, no. It is not currently practical. As for the future, well, if we knew what the future held, we'd all be filthy rich, wouldn't we?
