Are there any biological limitations to how much muscle tissue a stem cell can produce? Is it possible to produce flesh by the ton with only one stem cell or a small handful of them?
Cultured meat was hyped back in 2013 and as of recent it's made into a few stores, but there isn't much out there describing the scaling of production or limitations which is why I'm asking. Only problems I've heard with this so far is the taste needs to be improved.

It's really difficult to re create the vasulature in vitro. Once the cultured cells get to a certain mass the nutrients can't get to middle and growth stops.

The Hayflick limit doesn't necessarily apply to all human cells. Cells can mutate to produce a defective telomerase that regenerates their telomeres, as is the case in most 'immortal' cell lines and many cancers.

What that means (since you seem to be illiterate and incapable of making even the most basic of inferences,) is that the culture media and other nutrients used to feed the cells do not come from animals, not that the cells aren't animal cells.

No.
These are veggie patties made out of peas, coconut oil and beets (which give them their redness). They're not anything more.

No he's right, this is just a fancy veggie burger. We haven't developed anything satisfactory, let alone marketable yet.
