The methane molecule is created by the cow, not ingested, its a reaction that happens as it digests food. The article linked mentions it as well.

Maybe yeah, i think there will still be a market for real meat no matter what, but if it can be significantly reduced in an economical way, then that could help free some land and help the enviroment.
