As much as I enjoy the food, it is far too politically charged for me to want to weigh in via moderation. Many vegans would eat me alive (figuratively, as I contain meat) for supporting animal murder. Many carnivores and other omnivores would do the same assume that anyone that likes eating vegetarian or vegan occasionally or regularly is trying to take away their choice to eat meat.

    Understandable. If others were to take on the responsibility of moderation, would you help grow the community through posts or comments?

    Perhaps. I have had to avoid participating and a number of the vegan Lemmy communities because of the aforementioned contentiousness. I'd be wary about participating in another.

    I hear you. I've noticed that there tends to be a certain puritanical aspect to many vegetarian and vegan communities which I find somewhat perplexing, and think often runs counter to their own goals.

    My hope for the new community would be to focus on the technological and economic barriers (and breakthroughs) to scaling production of lab-grown meat.

    Ethical and ecological factors are an implicit bonus, but I don't expect there would really be much to discuss.
