This exists, and continues happen, all around the world. People didnt stop cooking vegetarian/vegan meals to make way for lab grown meat.
"We" can do more than one thing at once!!

However, lots of wonderful resturants and chefs are creating vegitarian and vegan food that in no way immitates meat based food.
I also think, though, that if we can create lab grown meat that is identical to meat but doesn't involve suffering or enviornmental harm, that's a win. Most vegans I have polled would eat it, as long as their stomach could handle it.
All I'm saying is that I wish this were the primary focus, as I think it's far more fruitful long-term.
It might be better for their health and the environment if they learned to eat a wider variety of foods. Vegetarian food is incredibly diverse; more so than the fake diversity of putting 20 toppings in 2^20 different combinations on top of ground beef. But that's not nearly as strong as cognitive dissonance people have to sustain around knowing that animals suffer and die for their dinner.
