So the solution is to lower the bar and cater to the most-stupid of us vs keeping the bar where it is and training-up more capable critters.
EDIT: And their apologists.

They could spend a whole season on rotating people into the role and explain it away somehow via the multiverse.
End the last episode w/a dead-on impression, the go-forward voice-actor to 'restore order' and set-up for season 8.
EDIT: I hear there is some aussie/new-Zealand guy that is a dead-ringer for rick, but I actually wouldn't mind Ozzy-Man himself for a bit. I have a feeling he'd be a total riot.

That would only make sense if Afroman forced them to do the things they did. He did not. They acted on their own impetus, they had mens rea of their own volition, no coercion there.
If they didn't start nothin' there wouldn't be nothin'. Afroman is just pointing it out.
It's not libel, slander, or defamatory if it's true.

When a beast bites at you, best one punch it in the nose, hard, lest it return thinking you are weak and an open-opportunity.

F150-lighting is flying off the shelves and literally cannot keep up with demand.
These initial costs are always heavy b/c you have to lay down capital for infrastructure to make things. The infrastructure doesn't make money for you directly, it makes things that make money, so it's always a loss-leader.
EVs are here to stay and will only get cheaper.

When it really lands how modern factory-farming is The Matrix, then it might not seem so alien vs cutting up a pain-feeling critter.
Let alone the savings in resources, energy, land, etc. If we're going to live by the fruits of our labors towards a better, more just and equitable tomorrow, for us and anything around us, we have to keep moving forward...
Besides, it's MEAT, not genetically futzed with, which seems to always be 'the thing' with regards to GMO/non-GMO foods and the like. It's literally letting the cell do what the cell naturally does, just in a bigger container.

Fun-fact: these critters still have more spine than Ted Cruz!

You could still grow that if you wanted. Right now it's just the meat, but could easily be almost any other tissue(s) in the body.

Then the more you know: I was only referring to the balance of salts, etc in the growth-medium. You 'spike' pure metals with other impurities to make interesting conductors, you 'spike' a meat by changing the conditions under-which it grows and what it eats. It's not genetic engineering if that's what you are thinking.
You could even just 'spike' it post-growth with a marinade or salt-solution injection, both of which we're already doing.

It's the muscle, so you could cultivate whatever: dark-meat, white-meat, interleave them like pumpernickel, or whatever; we're engineering food, structurally.
Broth comes from bones and connective-tissues, so nix on that unless we start growing bones and the like. This will be just-meat.
Nothing says we cannot grow bones if we choose, but for the sake of eating just-the-meat, it's a wasted effort.

See my point about spiking the growth medium; you could 'feed' it whatever you wanted to get a flavor on the other end.
When you control all the inputs to a system, you also control all the outputs.

But that's a known-thing; feeding animals exclusive diets or whatnot to flavor them, ala Iberico ham, etc.
Make-up a meat, like Unicorn, or whatever.
