* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFFZKW_jD6I&ab_channel=BKRB MEAT PRODUCT: LIFE MEAT]] is an AnalogHorror video covering a version of this GoneHorriblyWrong. It takes place in an alternate history that seems to have advanced far further technologically (to the point of preparing to colonize Mars), but which is undergoing a [[GaiasLament massive ecological collapse]], to the point where it's believed that all meat producing livestock will be extinct within 30 years. One company creates an artificial meat substitute that apparently accurately simulates most commonly available meat products, and it quickly starts outselling normal meat. Ten years on, an epidemic sweeps the US and is quickly tied to Life Meat, with [[NothingIsScarier no explanation ever discovered]] of why it started so suddenly after being on the market for a decade.

* ''VideoGame/EmpyrionGalacticSurvival'': The Food Processor can turn plant proteins into raw meat which is functionally identical to meat taken from animals. Although, given the abundance of things trying to kill you, animal meat is not exactly scarce.

* In ''WebOriginal/OrionsArm'', artificial meat is common. [[https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/482658e6099f6 An entire article]] is dedicated to the history and current methods of making artificial meat. In addition to the tissue culture method, there's [[https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/4648ea2855b5a deliplants]] (plants that grow meat fruit) and [[https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/49774cb7dce0e meatshrooms]] (meat mushrooms). However, it's not always done to be more humane: in some places, the same process is used to make tiny living things (often humanoid) with just enough intelligence to run away before the customer grabs and devours them.

* ''Subspace Explorers'', by Creator/EEDocSmith, mentions how almost all meat on Earth was replaced by synthetics, until other planets started being turned into massive farms, allowing real meat and milk to become widely available again. (Synthesising everything and using up all available land space, including remineralising even deserts like the Sahara, was an important part of straining the Earth's resources far enough to support [[OverpopulationCrisis a population of]]... [[HilariousInHindsight seven billion]].)
