Let’s not mince words here, if we have an alternative to the horrid conditions in slaughter houses, and a way to cut down massively on land usage for both raising and feeding cattle, AND reduce methane emissions due to less farting cows, those are all wins. The future you’ve painted just won’t come to pass, what’s much more likely is, if lab grown meat can scale up and solve the issues of texture, and industrial amounts able to be produced, then lab grown meat will become cheap, and there will be multiple companies competed to offer their take on grown meat. No country will own the patent, and if anything real animal meat will still exist, no outlawing, but it’ll be a luxury, expensive, especially compared with how affordable grown meat could be.
These are a lot of ifs, it’s possible that lab meat won’t find a way to get the texture right, or it may be impossible to scale up production and make it affordable to produce. But you’re assuming a lot of very not likely outcomes here.
Even worst. A multinational company would own the patent. That guarantees that the price will be prohibitive.

You severely underestimate the utter destruction of a country can be created by right-wingers supported by the US, and the fact that in agropecuary countries like mine, most money is in hands of cattle breeders, no way they will allow their earnings to vanish, even if it’s to profit a company in the US, even when they’re allies with right-wing, US-loving politicians.
