Do you mean synthetic meat as in lab grown muscle tissue, or as in the impossible burger stuff? I honestly have a hard time seeing either of those business models scaling up enough in the next ten years to make them more affordable than actual meat from an animal.

I read somewhere that the lab grown tissue was 10 years ago something insane like 1 million a burger to produce. By now it has lowered to 10 dollars a burger. Still not realistic as companies have to make a profit to make them switch but it gives me hope that when it can be made cheaper then regular meat then we will see it on the dollar menu.
