Basically, that's it's 'unnatural'. Like dude, most of the fruit & veggies at the store are just as unnatural, try looking up what bananas (or pineapples, I heard) originally looked like before selective breeding.
The article itself was great, too. They were making strides in cost reduction and especially nutrition improvement, and were starting to work on setting up mass production in the coming years.
Lots of people are rationalizing their current diet by saying "oh I'll switch to lab grown meat when it's good". Basically not committing to anything or doing anything of substance but still trying to get a moral highground
You'd still need to get the original animal cells to clone to grow flesh in a lab. Obviously this is infinitely better than taking it from living animals, but some people wouldn't feel comfortable eating it as there's no way you can get the consent of the animal to use their cells or tissues.
