The main reasons I’ve seen from vegans for not eating meat seem to be all about the morality of eating a sentient animal, the practices of the modern meat industry, and the environmental impact of it. And don’t have anything to do with the taste of meat.
Since lab-grown meat doesn’t cause animal suffering, and assuming mass production is environmentally friendly, would you consider going back to eating meat if it were the lab-grown kind?
Personally I think it’s still kind of gross. I wouldn’t judge anyone else for eating it though. It’s gotta be less harmful to the environment and animals than full strength meat. Right? It is less harmful isn’t it? Guys?
Since we’re far off from making it on an industrial scale it’s hard to say. Beating livestock farming probably isn’t hard though
I’m mostly vegetarian because of ethical concerns. I would eat this stuff as readily as tofu. Heck, it would be awesome if a decent economy of scale would make my protein needs much easier to obtain.
If you haven’t already tried it, I’d recommend TVP (soy mince) as a great protein source. I have a nice TVP chilli recipe if you like! Lots of protein and really tasty.
