Eating a "tumour" is not like eating Cancer as most might assume but rather eating cells that while alive grew (divided) more than they should have in order to form "meat". This "meat" will consist of fully functional and healthy cells that divide fast. Cancer by definition is a tumour is found to be reproducing rapidly in tissue where this rapid growth should not take place. Once the "tumour" or meat mass is dead you will be left with meat ready for human consumption. Interestingly enough, if you think about how much more energy is needed for the production of livestock when compared to something like the energy need for crop growth, livestock will be found to use much more energy as crops will probably need to be factored into energy livestock needs as the feed that is used to bring these animals up will probably contain some sort of plant based contribution. This method of meat production would significantly increase the food yield while having a minimal or even reducing effect for the resource use needed to go into meat production.

The rich will dine on corn-fed Iowa beef while the poor masses slave away in the underground factories, lunching on cultured meat tumor-chow laced with obedience-enhancing drugs. It seems almost inevitable. Oorah!! You all missed two good chances here: "..in VATro"; and "...ineVATable". I agree good story...until the tumor was mentioned. Take care, and Happy New Year!!!
