I don’t think this is actually a new thing. I’m pretty sure lab grown “meat” was regularly served to me in high school and college 40 years ago. It was called “meat” and was not identifiable by taste or appearance.

It’s all a matter of perspective. A family had dinner in our house, and one of their boys discretely told his mother, “This pumpkin tastes bad.” Well, of course - it wasn’t pumpkin. It was squash, and I suppose pumpkin is a kind of squash, just not the kind he was being served. After that was explained to him, everything was fine.
