Easy, not necessarily. It's not easy to raise jellyfish, either, or stony corals for that matter (though they're not as hard as jellyfish), but people do it as a hobby. And if there's anyone obessed with their hobby, it's foodies. There are people who pay obscene prices for a meal the way the rest of us pay for a vacation, and for much the same reason: it's an experience for them, a set of memories they want to have. If do-it-yourself meat -- totally under your control, cruelty-free, and arguably vegetarian-safe, for the philosophical vegetarians -- was as easy as do-it-yourself jellyfish (i.e., not very, but possible) they'd do it. If it was as easy as, say, fixing your own car, I'd do it. I don't grow all my own veggies, but there's nothing like the taste of a fresh tomato still warm from the sun, and I think this year I'm going to plant spinach and arugula so I can have fresh greens for salads instead of the limp grocery-store kind. I grow fresh food as a luxury, but it used to be a necessity. Many rural people (and some suburban, and even a few urban ones with generous balconies, micro-yards, etc.) grow at least some of their own veggies even today. And we're not all that long removed from the era of the Victory Garden, even if we do live in a society of people who think cooking involves a phone call to the pizza place. If home-grown meat becomes a possibility, I have no doubt that there are people who will grow their own. They'll probably trade cell lines like people today trade sourdough starters.
I'm afraid I didn't invent the term "carniculture"; that's pretty much the standard term for it, and has been since at least the 1950s. I'd have to do more research than I care to if I wanted to find out how much further back it goes.
