If this is successful, which it will be if it can imitate the texture and taste of animal meat, it will free up millions of acres of farmland devoted to raising animal feed. This farmland can then be re-wilded to grassland and forest which will suck up huge quantities of carbon dioxide.

What about imitating nutritional value? People always talk about texture and taste, but meat comes with a variety of other things that are good, if not essential, for us.
Edit: nvm I actually read the article real quick, but keeping my comment.

It's still the same meat, just grown from a culture instead of slaughter. Texture and taste is a concern because fat distribution and muscle development is a big factor in that which is not as easy with tissue grown in a lab. Otherwise it's basically the same meat.

I am wondering if Vegans will eat it or not.

As a recent vegan I am as well. My personal switch from meat as the centerpeice of every meal was a perfect trifecta of religious/moral/health reasons that made ditching animal products effortless for me. Meat actually kind of makes me nauseas now, so knowing how great I am without it I think I will end up skipping it. I'm down the last most stubborn pounds and have a six pack for the first time since HS. I have a lot more energy and sleep better. And most important of all my mood has leveled out and I am much calmer and unhurried for some reason.

I’m the same, I’m glad it will be available for other people, but I would never go back because I feel so much healthier without animal products. I’m glad it will be available for those who don’t want to cut them all out.

Have proof of this? It may be anecdotal, which is maybe what you meant, but that doesn't make it any less true. Humans aren't carnivores. We aren't meant to eat so much meat and dairy. It's why our country is so incredibly unhealthy. Now those are facts, as unpopular as they may be.

meat is unhealthy because of all byproducts it contains because of overproduction
as an example we all eat antibiotics when we consume meat or we even eat grow hormones when we eat meat. Meat fresh from an animal that also had not eat,drink or breath any toxins is not only safe its no problem for our body.
labMeat will be even better than fresh meat.

Only partially true. There are more and more studies coming out showing a link between consuming animal products and cancer.
I suggest watching the Tedx talk I linked for even more health considerations.

Even if it is just placebo, they feel better because of it, and that's a win in my book.
