I have seen vegans come out against lab grown meat...for...reasons? I get why they're vegans because of "traditional" meat, but lab grown meat doesn't have the problems of "traditional" meat LMAO

They claim the DNA and cells used to seed the cultures is an "animal byproduct"

I've seen a mixed response in the community.

I've been vegan for about 4 years and I will be all over lab grown meat if/when it "makes it".

The biggest issue I remember reading about was "fetal bovine serum" which, IIRC, was needed continuously throughout the process.

Personally, if all that's required to get started is a cell sample from a living animal which isn't harmed beyond the sample (minor and far from life threatening or causing suffering) then I'll be eating it for sure.

I'm vegan and I'll be eating it when it's available provided the only animal product to get started is a cell sample.

But if it requires continuous animal inputs to sustain then it's simply not vegan. You could argue that even acquiring a cell sample to get started also isn't but needing continuous animal inputs certainly isn't.
