Vegans of Lemmy, would you eat lab-grown meat? (lemmy.cafe)

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?

🙄🤦

hypocrites who call out others while justifying their own ethical blind spots are typically more interested in self-righteousness than actually improving the world.

Exactly. I agree completely, but scroll up and remember I didn't call ANYONE out in my original comment. I came to this thread because my perspective was asked for in the title. You came to me with a "but plants" trying to call MY beliefs out. So think whatever you want, but frankly, leave me the hell alone. This isn't a discussion I asked for, it's not on topic and you're not saying anything interesting.

Once again, I said none of that. Scroll up to verify I didn't call you out at any point.

This is a public forum, when you make a statement people are free to comment. You made a statement I disagreed with, and all I said was that the statement was questionable. All the rest of this "calling beliefs out" happened purely in your head. Feel how you wish about your choices, but don't implicate me in your projection.
