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?

I'm a vegetarian, and the answer is no. I find the idea of vat-grown meat disgusting, like something out of a bio-mechanical nightmare.

how is it different to hydroponic gardens?

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

I don't really see the point, so probably not.

Nah, the stuff I am cooking without meat tastes better anyways.

Seems like a bold assertion, saying your food tastes better than something that doesn't exist yet, and so cannot be compared.

I mean, you are probably right, but you can't know how dinosaur meat or whatever genetically engineered nonexistent animal meat tastes like.

Do people know for sure that consciousness emanates from the brain only?

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?

I’m a lazy vegan. I intend to stop eating animal meat as soon as cultured meat is viable. Maybe opportunistic vegan is the term?

[–] tobogganablaze@lemmus.org 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I'm pretty sure the term here is "not a vegan".

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

A potential vegan

I would not east lab grown meat. At this point meat grosses me out, and vegan protein is already very tasty.

I think lab grown meat mostly appeals to meat eaters who recognise that eating meat is wrong but don't have the discipline to go vegetarian/vegan.
