You'll eat bananas grown from tissue culture yet you won't eat meat using a similar method of production?

Well, I don't think these two methods are comparable. Plant TC is just a relatively simple tool to induce multiple shots, and make a genetic copy of the mother-plant. When propagating bananas from TC, we are ultimately growing the whole plant naturally, as all its' parts are present and it's roots will be in soil or hydroculture, and a relatively natural environment.
The meat in question is just muscle-cells/tissue grown on petridishes under lab-conditions in the whole "lifecycle". I think there's a big difference between TC bananas and this meat described here.
