> Once more nutritious than natural, the artificial meat will allow to overcome the current energy limitation on our brain.
I think you could rather drink a mixture of a protein, vitamin, oil, enzymes, etc, shake today - and get the same effects, than wait for your enhanced meat product.
The energy limitation was also a leap, when apes (or whatever) started eating meat, and later humans (or whatever) started using fire to cook their foods. And then bigger, more thoughtful, brains could be sustained.
There really is nothing more to improve on that will give you better than marginal results from this point in time. And even then, you'd have to wait for evolution to take its course and produce (well, perpetuate) whatever DNA is required to produce a bigger brain over a millennium or even longer... Assuming that's even a trait that is capable of producing more offsprings than in those that don't have that trait.

the previous 2M were spent on this extensive option - increasing the size (that was enabled by meat eating), and i think we pretty much exhausted that venue. The next step
is increasing the intensity of using that big brain. We use only small portion of it, and prolonged sustained thinking activities are very exhausting to our bodies in particular because it consumes a lot of energy. Evolutionary biological changes increasing brain efficiency would take long time (btw, it is very educational to read about specifics of Enstein's brain). This is why in historical short term only increasing of energy intake seems to be a viable option.
