Sorry to nitpick, but if someone chooses to not eat animal products for a reason other than animal welfare, they are not vegan, but rather "eating plant based" or whatever they want to call it. Being vegan is more than about what

Not at all, I completely agree. I personally wont be eating lab meat, partly for that reason and partly because I don't feel like I need to. At this point real meat, even if lab grown, would probably seem to disgusting to me.

As far as I am aware they don't need to harm the origin animal when they take the cell, and they only need to do it once at the start and can then reproduce the cells from the lab grown meat. But I could be very wrong. I am perfectly h

Why should people be able to eat whatever they want? If people's food choices directly support cruelty towards another creature then someone has to speak up to defend that creature. Most vegans are not militant activists, but they also

Who is still eating meat in 2020? Disgusting. No excuse whatsoever for supporting animal cruelty. Shame on you.

You think carbs cause cancer? Oh my, the anti-carb brainwashing is more powerful than I thought. If anything I predict there will be a future upsurge in some cancers (colon etc) if people keep avoiding carbs. We need fiber. Fiber comes from

Jeez, or just eat 3 healthy balanced meals a day and stop obsessing over gimicks and fad diets. I can't imagine our ancient ancestors worrying about fasting or being keto.
