Seems to me that the biggest advantage of cultured meat is disease prevention. Food born illnesses such as E Coli are introduced into meat by the often dirty and dangerous meat processing. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow) and other diseased meat is kept, processed, and sold because of difficulty weeding out the diseased animals. Not to mention, farms used to raise meat have excessive waste run off that can pollute the ground water. If cultured meat becomes viable, I'll give it a try. The potential pay offs are worth it.
