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?

    Lab grown meat currently does still does cause animal suffering since it’s often derived from fetal bovine serum.

    As a vegan, I still wouldn’t eat it without that though because I have come to view flesh as inedible as other people would see tree bark or tires outside of desperate situations.

    I already make food I like at home without it, there’s no point in adding it back in.

      It’s not derived from FBS, FBS is used to feed the cell culture. The stemcells themselves come from other sources of the embryo. So growing meat from meat with serum.
