Agreed, it probably is to some extent bioengineered, but not directly 3d printed, he probably read the former in a report and assumed the latter.
Someone posted something about cloned meat in the market on scored the other day and I had the same reaction, looking it further, a more plausible thing seemed to be true. That they were cloning prize bulls an selling the calves to ranchers to raise to be breeding bulls in their herds. Could totally see that, the cloned calf would be 50 times more expensive than a run of the mill male calf, but still cheaper than a prize bull that it would eventually grow into. So you aren't eating cloned meat, just the descendant calves of the cloned bull. The ranchers I've known had two to three bulls for a couple hundred head of cattle (never more than one with the cows at a time), wouldn't be a huge expense on the number of cows overall to get cloned calves to grow into breeding bulls.
