Once at scale, it's hard to imagine it not being much more efficient. You only are feeding a much smaller group of cells compared to an entire being

Besides just culture meat, there's also stuff like precision fermentation out there that's super interesting (and already is being used commercially). With it you can create biologically identical proteins. You can buy things like ice creams with non-animal whey in a number of stores
