What ever happened to synthetic meat? There was a lot of chatter about it years ago, and then it faded into obscurity. We desperately need it right now…
Culture meat is still in the works. In the meantime, we should be looking at the wide variety of plant-based foods out there because if we only wait, harm will continue to be done
From what I understand, yes it’s in scaling and getting the cost down. It’s not that it is not technically possible, it’s that it’s hard to do at scale and at a low cost
While not quite culture meat, there is one thing that’s pretty cool that’s already here: precision fermentation. Essentially you can get biologically identical proteins from it so there’s stuff like non-animal whey ice creams you can get right now

Has there been a problem in developing it? Or perhaps in getting the cost down?

Oh, nice. Bacteria save the day again. Has there been any progress on making a meat-like substance that way?
Impossible meat uses precision fermentation to make its heme
