Remember vegans, we will just harvest it from cloned meat.

    Remember non vegans, cloned meat will trigger your nearly acquired meat allergy the same as hoof-grown meat. It is, after all, meat.

    More likely that those with an allergy can pay more to eat specific lab grown meat that doesn’t trigger the allergy.

    Since it’s already happened

    Since last fall, Revivicor has been quietly sending refrigerated packages of alpha-gal-free bacon, ham, ground pork, chops, and pork shoulders to people in the alpha-gal-syndrome community. These packages were free, but Revivicor has told the FDA it is exploring a mail-order business. And so a biomedical company has found itself an accidental purveyor of specialty pork products.

    If this lab grown "meat" can be created in petri dishes or whatever without animal exploitation and suffering then it will be vegan by definition.

    Edit: Ah it's not lab grown meat but genetically altered animals that they farm. :/

    People will eat insects rather than stop fucking with animals. The lengths y’all go to are insane.

    Insects are animals

    I think that is what they are saying. People would rather eat insects, which are animals, rather than just go vegan

    You'd rather eat a bean with 6 pairs of legs instead of a bean with no legs?

    the "insect farming" idea is mostly hype to get subsidies, as the demand is absent, the subsidized insect farming will just end up as concentrated feed for the usual vertebrate animal farming operations.

    I wasn't commenting my opinion at all, actually
