If it was healthy, affordable, and tasty, then yes.
If it isn't all three, then Veganism can continue to go fuck itself.
You are not limited to meat and lab-created meat, you know? Vegetarians can tell you to eat eggs and cheese if you want. Vegans will tell you that there are large varieties of plant-based proteins, amongst: lentils, soy, whole cereals, even green vegetables. While these tend to not be as complete nor bio-available as meat or eggs, if you combine them you can have various, delicious and protein-rich meals. I am personally working out a lot and my mostly vegan diet (some eggs and cheese from time to time) is enough for my protein needs.
I mean, if your goal is to keep the meat experience, then yeah, I get your point. But other than that....
I think that was indeed very obviously the point. The point of both the comment you were replying to and this lab grown meat idea as a whole.
I'm not really good with obvious subtexts, I'm sorry ^^
Because Veganism is yet another new age fad diet based in pseudoscience and I will have no part in it. It's just Einstein Pain Wave nonsense.
People showing empathy towards animals and their living condition isn't exactly what I would label pseudoscience. It has nothing to do with science to begin with
Yes, but you can't actually survive on a Vegan diet.
Cutting down on eating meat is as good as going vegan
Villianising anyone and everyone who even so much as touches a chicken breast is a damn blunder and totally puts me off against the community
Then again, most vegans that are decent wouldn't be pushy and tell people they're vegan
Why would I ever cut down on meat though? It's filling, delicious, and the reason why humans evolved intelligence in the first place.
Because humans found similar delicious alternatives?
I mean, it's your choice and Europe and America heavily depend on a meat based diet with the exception of bread
