Cheap lab grown meat is not "a few years" out. Furthermore, this is like saying you shouldn't berate people for owning slaves because they are just waiting for robots to come along that can fulfill the same tasks. Even if some magical x factor will cause everyone to be vegan two years from now that would not excuse the conditions we subject animals to in the present.
