“Clean Meat” is a really annoying euphemism for cultured meat. It’s such an obvious attempt to load the linguistic dice in a misleading way. There’s no reason an old-fashioned filet mignon from a cow can’t be clean.
Cultured meat might be more humane. It might be made to taste better, or be more nutritious. I don’t favor banning it. I’d try it, and I’m sure it won’t be as disgusting as Beyond Meat. If it wins in the market, cool beans.
But don’t label it with a clearly misleading term.
Cows poop, a lot. And somehow, after decades of factory farming, we still haven't figured out a good way to deal with it. Cells don't poop. Seems like a good enough reason to call it clean meat to me.

The tasty filet and ribeye are inside the cow, which means they're not touching poop. Unless it happens accidentally during the slaughter process.
