Filet mignon is expensive precisely because only one muscle in a cow's body has the right texture. And synthesizing complex organic material (such as a replica of a transversely sliced bit of muscle) is much more difficult (and therefor more expensive) than the way the cow does it, unless you're raising the cow solely for that little bit of filet mignon and wasting the rest of the carcass.
And just because we don't see much poverty in the various Star Trek series doesn't mean it's been abolished from the human experience. You might not think Texas had poverty if you judged by watching "Dallas".
