What kind of impact would fully switching to this kind of meat would have on hypertrophy?

  In theory minimal on the positive side. The only thing you'd care about is the amino acid profile of the proteins, which they are claiming is better than meat: > “What’s exciting to me is that we now have a completely different set of proteins that we can tune,” says Geistlinger. “We’re looking at yeasts and algae, which both have amino acid profiles that are superior to beef. We made something that used yeast from the brewery across the street. It came out like bratwurst!”

  There's evidence that a vegan diet increases testosterone, by providing more of the precursors. There's actual proof that it can make no difference either way in terms of protein quality.

    The statement "there's evidence that a vegan diet increases testosterone, by providing more of the precursors" could use one, or better, two, supporting citations: one, to the evidence that a vegan diet increases testosterone, and two, to the evidence that consumption of precursors is sufficient to cause increases of the desired substance (and particularly in the case of testosterone). I'm aware of at least some dispute about the effectiveness of increasing consumption of precursors. I don't have any emotional attachment to eating meat, and have eaten raw vegan and vegetarian diets before (and found most vegetarian dishes to be tastier than meat-based ones). One of the reasons I don't go in for any special diets anymore is that the health assertions in support of them often end up falling short of supporting evidence.
