synthetic meat

I don't exactly like the idea of synthetic meat and I prefer to eat normal meat. The idea of how to solve the food issue when we are outside Earth will definitely be a problem we have to solve eventually.

I understand how you feel because I like a good cheeseburger or extra meat pizza. The one downside to "natural meat" is it's not as contaminant free as it should be. The law allows a certain amount of contamination because of the way meat is rendered, processed and transported commercially. Add to that the pollution from the environment that livestock can take into their bodies. If the meat is printed layer by layer from refined fats and proteins that's virtually as pure as food can be. It may not taste 100% authentic but I'll take approximation over precision if it means not having a stray rat hair or microscopic piece of insect in my food.

True. You won't know for sure if there are insects or rat hair in your food. The contamination is often difficult to solve since it happens naturally during the lifespan of an animal.
