Can they repeat for vegetarian? As an ethically conflicted meat-eater, I do try to limit my consumption where possible, but full vegan would be tremendously difficult for me to adhere to for any length of time. Eggs are nearly the perfect food.
I would note that eight weeks is not terribly long for a radical dietary change. Presumably, the baseline consumption for participants was more akin to the omnivore diet. What would the study results look like at 4+ months duration? Would vegans creep back up to their original baseline as their body and habits adapted?
- AlexandrB 3y agoIt seems unlikely that this is a binary thing. So the result for vegetarians is probably somewhere between vegan and omnivore.
- Teever 3y ago> Eggs are nearly the perfect food. You know how they're trying to grow cultured meat? I think it's pretty neat and all but what I would like to see is a scenario where they grow some chicken oocytes in a lab that then grow eggs. To me that seems like an easier way to get to lab grown animal products than trying to get the taste/texture and appearance of stuff grown in a lab to approximate that the stuff that spends it's life in the body of an animal that is on a farm. The apex of this kind of invention would be a little biomechanical appliance in your kitchen about the size of atoaster or microwave that you put electricity, water, and protein slurry into and out pop perfect little eggs.
- popularrecluse 3y agoMmmmm... biomechanical protein slurry....
