That's an awful lot of woulds, coulds and ifs we're talking here. In my view, affordability is a much bigger issue than acceptance, and I wonder what's more important to the people who have weighed in on this thread topic: the part about it potentially keeping us from killing too many cows and ruining too many habitats, or the part about it supposedly being accessible to the world's hungry one day.
To directly answer the question, if it tasted good and seemed safe enough, I would probably be willing to pay more than I now pay for natural meat to eat it. I would also sleep easy knowing that by moving my capital into a different market, I would be reducing the demand and thus the price of real meat so that less fortunate people could afford to eat it where they previously couldn't. But don't get me wrong - the moment I had even half a reason to believe that the syntho meat would negatively affect my health, I'd go back to real meat in a heartbeat, as I'm sure most people who are able would have enough sense to do.
